Labour Code provides for an independent and powerful labour inspection system in the country.

Labour Inspectors, under the authority of Ministry of Labour, ensure the implementation of laws and regulations related to conditions of work and protection of workers in the exercise of their function, such as provisions on working hours, wages, safety, hygiene and well-being, the employment of children and adolescents as well as provisions of a collective agreement. It is the responsibility of the inspector to provide information and technical advice to employers and workers on the most effective means of complying with the legal provisions in force and to bring to the attention of the competent authority defects or abuses which are not specifically covered by existing laws and regulations.

Labour code authorizes the labour inspector to enter the workplace at any time during day or night without previous notice to carry out examination, test or inquiry; interview anyone; ask for or take copy of any prescribed book/register, record or other document; and take or remove samples. The labour inspector may also ask employer to display notices according to legal provisions.
