Regional Labour Inspectorate provided more than 22 thousand information reports to workers and employers in 2024
During 2024, the Regional Labour Inspectorate (IRT), according to its activity report, carried out 3,378 inspection visits, opened 85 labour administrative offence proceedings and cleared outstanding claims against workers amounting to €742,442.00. In the same period, and as part of the fight against illegal, undeclared or concealed precarious work, the IRT detected 273 workers in irregular situations, with 265 in a situation of undeclared work and eight in "disguised self-employment" (a situation when an employer considers an individual as self-employed to hide their actual legal status as an employee). During that period, the situation of 242 workers was settled. The IRT provided 22,066 information reports to workers, employers and other organisations, including representative associations. In terms of asbestos removal, there were 28 asbestos removal authorisations, for a quantity of around 27,270.00 square metres, involving 132 workers. As far as prevention is concerned, the IRT carried out 44 audits on companies providing external occupational safety services and their client companies. Also in the area of prevention and the promotion of occupational safety and health, the IRT carried out 14 awareness-raising actions involving workers, employers, representative associations and schools, covering 17,398 recipients. The IRT is an inspection service under the administration of the Regional Secretariat for Youth, Housing and Employment, whose mission is to promote the improvement of working conditions by monitoring compliance with labour regulations and legislation on occupational health and safety.
