as the management of laboratories is at present carried out by Senior Laboratory Assistants when it is well above their normal level of responsibility. These functions should be performed by experienced staff with specialised technology training, usually ranked at the Technologist level.
We therefore recommend that a new rank of Laboratory Technologist be created. The rank would normally be a promotion rank for Senior Laboratory Assistants who have the necessary qualifications. The pay scale for the proposed
rank is in line with other comparable ranks.

In our Report No. 2 we agreed to examine further
a suggestion that additional ranks should be created to undertake supervision of the Inspectorate which is at present performed by Assistant Labour Officers. We have now completed this examination and consider that the introduction of a new rank of Chief Labour Inspector is justified.
We consider that the quality of the service of the Inspectorate can be further improved if the senior supervisory function is conducted by mature officers with experience in the Labour Inspector grade.
Inspector grade are as follows :
