Labour inspection is an essential part of any country labour administration system, exercising the fundamental function of labour law enforcement and compliance promotion. Labour inspection institutions have a twofold nature. On the one hand, they supervise the enforcement of labour laws, particularly with regard to workers rights. On the other hand, labour inspectorates provide information and advice, as well as training. This dual nature means that labour inspection is a wellsuited tool for good governance as well as ensuring fairness in the workplace.rn
