Incidents

The loss of the corer is the only incident experienced this season and this is reported fully in annex 1.

Minor physical injuries occurred to Mr Rennie during the AFT course when he incurred cold induced wrist strain while digging a snow mound. Two of Mr Rennies' fingers were also crushed but no bones were fractured when releasing the vibracorer from the chain block during the lifting test at Scott Base. Our procedures were later modified to minimise potential injury during this operation. Incident and ACC reports were completed for both these injuries.
