MANNING
6.1
Operational manning requirements to meet the 10 minute travel time target for emergency calls and the anticipated volume of routine work have been estimated in the respective reports on these services. Overall estimates incorporating these are shown in Table 2 for the present demand and in five years time (1991).

Present manning levels are:

150 three man crews, 10 two man crews
75 three man crews.
6.2 These figures exclude offshore island manning and emergency reserve. It is anticipated that offshore island manning will remain the same as the present approved posts, i.e. seven crews plus one for Rennies Mill (which has no vehicle and is thus also additional manning to that computed). Applying the standard ratios as at present 9.3913 for three of these crews and 12.4371 for the other five, gives a total manning for offshore islands and Rennies Mill of ninety.
6.3
-
If the present allowance for emergency reserve (major incidents) of eight crews round the clock is continued, a total of 144 and eighty-three three man crews are required in day and night shifts respectively, with thirty-nine two man crews in the day shift. 1991 estimates are 205 and 105 three man crews in the two respective shifts with fifty-five two man crews. These figures exclude any requirement for mėn on non-operational duties.

The advantages of tiering were discussed in Section 3(d) of the Report on Routine Services. In addition to the benefits relating to the control function these included the introduction of more two man crews as shown above and the hours of working for the routine tier being limited to 8.30 or 9 am to 6 pm in line with demand.
