We’ve just had a e-mail from top-top-top boss, concerned at injuries sustained to Coastguard Rescue Officers. Coastguard HQ are very concerned that the injury rate has gone up. Whilst they acknowledge that rescue work is not without risk and that we are now better at reporting injury, the rate is still too high. We have therefore been asked to minimise risk.
Apparently most injuries are due to ‘slipping and tossing’….and before anyone starts these were the exact terms used by HQ.
We have been asked not to toss kit at each other as invariably the ‘catchee’ gets injured when they drop a catch.
We then had a team discussion as to who the biggest 'slipper' was.
