smooth beginning of the day for all departments.

Other duties involved clearing the staff off home after 11.00 pm and making sure all hand overs were carried out properly and also ensuring all departments were well covered.

The end of day at the front office also had to be done efficiently and on time given as mentioned above.

Staff transport was also a very important duty as the late shift staff in most cases were the same group that reported back on duty the following morning hence the importance of staff vehicle regular inspections.

Part of night duty.
