Problems on board are rarely solved well by rushing to the first answer. This card gives crew and leaders a practical framework for thinking clearly under pressure, helping them define the real problem, gather the right information, consider options, test assumptions and choose the most suitable course of action while staying alert to cognitive bias. Read it with your team, use it to strengthen day-to-day judgement and leadership.
Remember, you always have the right to put your own safety and the safety of others first.
If it looks unsafe, stop. Small actions can prevent great harm.
If you have concerns or want to share lessons learned you can do that confidentially through CHIRP, so others can benefit too.
