Fundamental principles and rights at work (“FPRW”) are the foundation of the ILO’s vision of decent work for all. While there is strong international commitment to address violations of these fundamental human rights, decent work is not yet a reality for many people in the world.

An effective and functioning labour inspection system is crucial to the realization of FPRW in practice. However, these institutions often face particularly challenging circumstances in the carrying out of their mandate and functions.

This e-learning course is intended to enhance understanding of the role, mandate and means of action that the labour inspectorate can employ to prevent, as well as actively identify and act upon violations of FPRW.

- Labour inspectorate staff
- Labour inspectors: general, specialised and management level;
- Labour administration staff;
- Representatives from trade unions and employers' organizations, private sector and other actors and key parties supporting the promotion and realization of fundamental principles and rights at work through compliance
