Safety Deterrent
Thursday, September 7, 2023

When working on a towboat, a positive attitude and atmosphere is vital to a safe work attitude.
Teach your crews how to defuse situations.

A whiner and complainer can only accomplish their goal if they have an audience. If you remove their audience, they are only talking to themselves. Constant conversations that are complaining about work, pay, other crew members, etc, most generally will fester into discontent of the whole crew.

Which will cause them to be thinking about other things than paying attention to what they are doing and where they are walking.

Teach your crew and mates how to defuse those conversations that are led by a complainer. If they are on watch find a task for them to do. If they are off watch take your crewmates and go on tow, wheelhouse, a simple task or anything that removes the Audience from the Complaining.

Also remember that as officers of the vessel the crews will generally adapt our attitudes also.

Stay positive in front of crew.
