DIVISION OF OPERATION AND PERSONNEL 



PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT 



During the past year the total staff reached an all time high of 1561. excluding 

 casual employees, an increase of 52 over the figure for the previous year. New 

 employees included 44 holding university degrees. As a result of the policy of 

 appointing personnel on the Temporary Staff to the Permanent Staff whenever possible, 

 Permanent employees now make up 90% of the total staff, excluding casuals. 



The volume of work performed by the Personnel Management section has 

 increased considerably over the past year. This was due to increased turn-over, 

 maintenance of more detailed records for all phases of the work; compilation of an 

 increasing amount of statistical data concerning staff and related matters, and the 

 intensification of the Safety and Accident Prevention Program. 



The following table indicates the total number of employees on the staff each
