Notes:
Last night the bottom drawers in the kitchen cupboard directly beside
the Commander's cabin were accidentally left open. In the
morning this made it impossible to exit the cabin without assistance
from another crew member on the outside to close the
drawers. This could present a serious hazard in the event of a fire or
other evacuation emergency.
I would recommend installing drawers in this cupboard which will close
by themselves unless a crew member is holding them.
One crew member stepped into a two feet deep sinkhole on EVA today and
fell. The crew member was unhurt but noticed that the
sharp edges on the inside of the suit helmet were quite painful when
falling. Please advise on the rules for wearing these suit
helmets vs normal motorcycle helmets while on ATV EVA.
More rat droppings were discovered in the loft today so I will vacuum
them up as soon as possible. The rat trap in the loft is
broken. Can you please advise on whether or not there are more at MDRS?
I created an EVA First Aid form for crew members to carry on EVA. I
have attached it to this report.
There are no other health and safety issues to report.
