Designed as a training tool for labour inspectorates, this publication is also intended to motivate the managers of labour inspection services to rethink their roles and adopt more innovative approaches in providing inspection services. This guide is sufficiently comprehensive to help senior officials in their day-to-day activities but it also provides a framework for training newly appointed labour inspectors.

Ideal for group training and self-learning, this guide is particularly useful for senior labour inspectors in provinces and districts where access to training and staff development is limited compared with opportunities for headquarters personnel.
