!!!Arbeitsinspektorate

Labour Inspectorates monitor the observation of labour protection laws 
( Labour Law) and are governed by the Arbeitsinspektionsgesetz (Labour 
Inspection Law) of 1993. Labour inspectorates are authorities of the 
immediate federal administration under the supervision of the Federal 
Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Affairs (Central Labour 
Inspectorate). They are authorised to enter and inspect businesses at 
any time. When labour laws are violated, they are to require the 
employer to restore lawful working conditions or to institute legal 
proceedings against the employer. In addition, they function as 
advisors and supporters in the field of workers' protection. Separate 
labour inspectorates exist in the fields of agriculture and forestry 
in addition to the labour inspectorates for transport and the mining 
authorities. Forerunners of these offices were the inspectorates for 
trades (Gewerbeinspektorate) established in 1883, which combated the 
wide variety of grievances in trades and industry. In that context, V. 
Adler recognised the need for social measures among the Wienerberger 
brick factory workers.
