Tips on Holiday Spending

• Shop Wisely
• Be Creative
• Track Expenses
• Think Long Term
Theme of the MonthZERO HARM
Preoccupation with failure• Averse to complacency, always alert to the smallest
signal that a new threat to safety may be developing
Reluctance to simplify their observations
• Identify the subtle differences among threats that may
make the difference between early and late recognition
Sensitivity to operations• The earliest indicators of threats to organizational
performance typically appear in small changes in the
organization's operations
Theme of the MonthZERO HARM
Commitment to resilience• Recognizing that despite all their best efforts and past
safety success, errors will occur and safety will be
threatened
Deference to expertise• When confronted with a threat, having mechanisms
in place to identify the individuals with the greatest
expertise relevant to managing the new situation and
to place decision-making authority in the hands of
that person or group
