Part 3
Note any safety issues:
- A crewmember will be using needles and syringes as part of their research. However, they do not have a proper sharps disposal container. This is a potential safety hazard. For the time being, the individual has been trained on proper capping/uncapping procedures for needles, and will keep needles capped in a separate location until a more permanent solution can be found.
- After testing the downstairs carbon monoxide detector, it began beeping periodically indicating a low battery. No replacement batteries were located in the HAB, so extra 9V batteries have been requested from mission support.
Note any health/environmental issues: None noted.
Note any missing or recommended health and safety supplies:
- Sharps disposal container for used needles
- 9V batteries for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
- Antibiotic ointment (individually wrapped) are needed for the lower HAB first aid kit
- An AED would be standard safety supply which is not present
- A dedicated tourniquet for the HAB would be a welcome addition, in case the EVA safety kit is out on EVA
