The Maritime Sector

THE GOOD PRACTICES OF LABOUR INSPECTION IN BRAZIL: 63PART III: CONCLUSIONThis document described three good practices in three separate areaswithin the maritime sector. However, it is important to emphasise thatthese practices are not exclusive to any one of them. In fact, thesepractices are utilised in all sectors of maritime inspection to a greateror lesser extent, according to the necessities and compatibility of eachwith the inspection approach of each sector. The National MobileGroups, for example, also play an important role in labour inspectionin the fishing and naval construction sectors, two sectors that sharea need for information harmonisation, transmission, and exchange.Coordination with other actors is also important in the merchantshipping and naval construction sectors, due to the interdependentcharacter of these actors and the need to refine the mechanisms forinformation optimisation. Finally, the deepening of the tripartitedialogue also represents a fundamental channel capable of increasingcooperation and the sustainability of inspection in the fishing industryand the merchant marine.Dynamism and flexibility are necessary attributes for a labour inspectionthat is facing a complex and ever-changing reality. The Brazilian practicesdescribed here reflect some effective ways to deal with this scenariowithin a framework that is common to many countries, which startedwith deficient inspection capabilities and today seek to reach a new levelof respect for workers’ rights and their safety and health conditions.THE MARITIME SECTOR
