WELCOME.
Y ou may be experienced at sea… you may be relatively
new. But the thing we all have in common is we react
in unexpected ways when we’re tired, feeling stressed or
worrying over issues back home. This mental pressure
means we may not always make the right choices or
decisions when the going gets tough. And that’s precisely
the time you’re likely to suffer from an accident or incident.
2
WE WANT YOU TO GO HOME
INJURY FREE
Here’s the big idea. We want you to have
‘Total Control Under Pressure’ (T-CUP).
This boils down to 5 key FRESH principles:
• Free from worries: learn to mentally ‘box off’ your personal
worries. When you’re on a ship you have to stay 100%
focused on the task. Don’t get so consumed by your
worries – you’re not paying full attention to your duties.
• Rested and mentally alert. Look after your eating patterns
and your sleep patterns. Under fatigue we make irrational
vs rational decisions. Know that night time and the early
hours is when accidents and incidents are most likely to
happen.
• Early to sight, share and learn from every near-miss. A
near miss can be an accident or incident that was avoided.
However, just because the incident did not happen this
time, does not mean it won’t happen any time soon.
Every near miss is a golden opportunity to discuss with
colleagues – what can we learn from this?
• Social: you’re part of a team. Whilst no one individual
is perfect – a team can be. But trust and goodwill does
not happen by chance. You have to connect with your
colleagues over breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don’t be
tempted to be a ‘lone wolf’.
• Happy to clarify. Before you start any task, be clear on
what you are being instructed to do. Don’t just say ‘yes’ if
you’re less than 100% sure of what is being asked of you.
This simple step of asking for further directions and further
clarity – will free you up to work with confidence. Don’t take
short-cuts. Short-cuts can shorten your life.
LET’S EXPLORE EACH PRINCIPLE IN MORE DETAIL.

YOUR DAILY CHECKLIST:
FREE FROM WORRIES
• Do you meditate each day – even if it is for 5 minutes –
to ground yourself
• Do you confide in a colleague to talk about what’s worrying
you?
• Do you write down your worries and figure out how best to
solve them?
• Are you able to ‘box-off’ your troubles, so you can
concentrate fully on your work?
• Do you challenge your negative self-talk?
• Are you able to go through a day without judging yourself
or judging anyone else?
• Do you find it easy to forgive yourself and forgive others?
• Do you have simple ways like exercise, playing games,
reading a book – to help you de-stress?
• Do you start each day with a sense of optimism and put
yesterday’s issues in the past?
Do you appreciate the simple things – the fact you have
your health, you are able to travel, you’re doing interesting
work, etc…

YOUR DAILY CHECK-LIST: RESTED
AND MENTALLY ALERT – LOOK AFTER
YOUR WELLBEING: PHYSICALLY,
MENTALLY AND SPIRITUALLY
• Eat at least 5 portions of fruit and veg each day – get the vital vitamins
and minerals you need
• Drink plenty of water – the brain functions better when it is fully
hydrated. The human body can survive for several weeks without food,
but a matter of days without water
• Avoid sleeping on a full stomach – you’re more likely to get heartburn or
indigestion
• Avoid watching TV or being on your smartphone before you go to sleep
– it stimulates not calms the mind
• Get into a routine where you can enter deep-sleep quickly – take a hot
shower or read a book
• Where possible try and get at least 6 hours sleep between shifts
• Create a deep-sleep routine: slow down your breathing, tense and then
relax every muscle starting from your feet and working up to your head.
Slowly count down from 10 down to 1. With each count, become more
relaxed and sense your body sinking deeper into your bed
• Keep a note pad next to your bed, so you can write down things you
have to do – rather than worrying over them

5
YOUR DAILY CHECKLIST: EARLY TO
SIGHT, SHARE AND LEARN FROM
EVERY NEAR MISS
• Use Toolbox meetings to discuss accidents or incidents you avoided
yesterday – be totally open and transparent
• Figure out the root-cause of the problem and how we can avoid this
happening again
• Raise safety issues with the Master, CO, CE and ask how they can
help or support you
• Talk about behaviours you saw that you feel were unsafe or did not
follow Fleet’s SMS
• Make a point of observing colleagues and giving them feedback on
what you saw them doing well and one thing they could improve
• Seek daily feedback from your peers on what you did well yesterday
and what you could improve today
• Seek the help and advice of your Superintendent
6
YOUR DAILY CHECKLIST: SOCIALISE:
YOU’RE PART OF A TEAM
• Make a point of eating lunch and your evening meals with your colleagues
whenever possible
•Make time to talk to your colleagues about life and their families generally
•Learn to have fun and take part in activities that make you laugh with your
colleagues – card games, party games, etc…
•Make a point of celebrating someone’s birthday, or achievement
• Break down barriers by making sure everyone gets invited or involved in
your social activities
•Where you have different nationalities, learn to say ‘hello’ and ‘thank you’ in
their mother language
•When you can see someone is having a bad day, make the effort to be
there for them. Be a good listener.
•Agree some ground rules on how we can get work done to a high standard
and have fun.
7
YOUR DAILY CHECKLIST:
HAPPY TO CLARIFY
• Have you planned your day and activities in your
Toolbox meeting?
• Have you done a proper risk assessment on paper for each
of the tasks you’ll be completing today?
• Do you have the necessary work permits or PPE to
complete your work safely?
• Have you double-checked some of the risks or hazards of a
task you’ve not completed before?
• When you have been instructed to complete a task –
have you asked at least three clarifying questions?
• When you’ve been briefed to complete a task – even under
pressure – have you summarised your understanding?
• If someone has instructed you to complete a task and
you’re anything less than 100% clear – have you asked for
further clarification?
• Even under pressure, do you stick to the right procedures
and avoid taking short-cuts?

HOW TO BUILD GREATER
EMOTIONAL CONTROL
UNDER PRESSURE
Your resilience and personal growth guide.
Featuring Kush Shorey, Chief Officer 16

RED TEMPER: ‘THE HOT KETTLE’
If you have a red-temper, you may say things in the heat of the
moment you later regret. You may also act and behave in ways that
others see as aggressive, rude or inconsiderate. You may think it’s OK
to show your passion and show your dissatisfaction with the situation.
Problem is it weakens your personal credibility. Colleagues think ‘if
you can’t control your emotions – then what else can’t you control’?
Here are three practical steps you can take:
• Learn to stay neutral: suspend your judgement. Our anger can
come from a number of energy sources. For some it’s how can you
be so incompetent. For others they see the colleague being lazy.
Not taking pride in their work. Or simply useless. The more you
judge others, the more you feel let down.
The more you make up your mind – ‘I’m right and they’re wrong’.
This internal thinking then gives you permission to blast your
feelings. But what if after you’ve cooled down, you realise there is
more to the situation than you originally thought?
• Just breathe and count to 10: you’ve no doubt heard of this before.
By counting to 10 and just allowing yourself to sigh and breathe in
slowly – you reduce your blood pressure. You buy yourself time to
slow down and see the situation from a fresh pair of eyes.
• Focus on the problem not the person: sometimes we can be too
quick to blame someone. We focus on the way they respond to
us… or their mannerism that just seems to make us feel annoyed.
A better option is to focus on the problem. Stay focused on the
outcome you want. In being so driven to rectify the problem, you will
be less consumed by the personalities of those who annoy you.
17
RED ENERGY: ‘THE FIXER’
I f you have ‘red energy’, chances are you can’t sit still or stand
still when you’re under pressure.
You feel compelled to get up and do something… act… be
proactive… try and fix the problem.
Red energy people have lots of nervous energy. Their foot is
always tapping. Their hands are clicking a pen or playing with
whatever they can lay their hands on. They are prone to acting in
haste and repenting at leisure.
Here are 3 practical things you can do:
• Buy yourself time to think: even though you may be tempted
to act. Resist the urge. Take a few minutes and write down the
root cause of the problem. Outline the next steps. Anticipate
the risks of each step. Just these things will stop you acting
impulsively. You’ll look before you jump.
• Get people around and explore your options: your first idea
is unlikely to be your best option. So ask for other’s opinions.
Listen. Consider others may have better ideas and may be
closer to a solution than yourself.
• Give permission for others to challenge your thinking: let
your colleagues know under-pressure you have ‘red energy’
and your instincts are to jump first – think later. Ask them to
challenge you even when you’re fully convinced of a course of
action. For them to help you consider others’ options – even
though you may not want to hear them.

GREEN CLOSED DOOR:
‘THE LONE THINKER’
If you have ‘green closed-door temperament, you are most
likely to keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself – when
you’re facing challenges. When you’re around other people,
they may not know what you’re thinking of or worried about.
People may see you as a private person or a ‘book they
cannot read’.
Green closed-door people keep their thoughts private. Even
when they feel angry or shocked, they need the time to
process their feelings. It can mean green closed-door people
are overly self-critical or tough on themselves. They may
over-think a situation and play it over and over in their mind
and figure out ‘what could I have done differently’?
• Put your thoughts down in writing: this simple act means
the issues are no longer going round and round your head.
It means you can step back and then make sense of what
you have written down.
• Signal to people what you’re thinking: let the people
around you know what you’re thinking. You don’t need to
give them the full version. But enough, so people know
when to leave you alone and when to reach out to you.
You don’t have to carry the world’s problems on your own
shoulders.
• Find someone you can confide in: it can be highly stressful
keeping your worries or troubles to yourself. So even
though you may not want to go public with your thoughts
– find at least one person you can have a heart-to-heart
conversation with.
19
GREEN ‘LET’S TALK’: ‘THE OPEN-BOOK’
U nder pressure green ‘let’s talk’ need to express and articulate how they’re feeling.
They want to get things off their chest. They need to think aloud. Express their feelings. This is all your way of making sense of what is
going on. Others are likely to see you as being transparent, open and forthcoming with your thoughts and feelings. You may on occasion be
too quick to say things or express ideas– which others may not want to hear.
• When you’re feeling under-pressure and you’re unhappy about a situation – articulate the outcome or the result you want in your own mind
first. Be less concerned about sharing your feelings or thoughts. This is more likely to win people over and get them on your side.
• Express what you agree with first: too often people with ‘green energy’ may verbalise what they’re worried about or what is not going well.
However, it may help to get people on-side if you start off by sharing what you agree with or what is going well and then move on to your
concerns.
• Learn to be a mediator: you may want to engage your colleagues and have a difficult conversation in a safe place. As the mediator you ask
people in turn how to resolve an issue, what is on their mind and how they’re feeling. This not only helps the team to process their feelings –
you may come up with better ideas and options. As they say ‘two heads are often better than one’.
20
DEEP-PURPLE WORRIER: ‘THE OVER-THINKER’
U nder-pressure ‘deep purple worriers’ can over-think and turn a small issue into something much bigger. These colleagues are very skilled
in taking things out of perspective. As a result, they unnecessarily stress and worry over seemingly small matters – which in their mind
‘snowball’ into much bigger issues. Deep-purple worriers over think, over analyse and somehow can’t switch their thoughts off. It can lead to
short bursts of feeling low, depressed or anxiety attacks.
• Use the barometer technique: imagine a 10-point scale. Where 10 is the worst thing imaginable – say death! 5 is somewhere in between and
1 is you hurt your toe coming out of bed. Whatever issue you’re facing – consider where it ranks on the 10-point scale. If it’s less than 5, worry
about it for 10 minutes and then get over it!
•Know that worrying does not resolve anything:
it’s only action that changes things. You can spend a lot of energy worrying – but this will not improve your circumstances. So, channel your
energy into one small thing I can do today to improve the situation I’m encountering.
•Practice going 30 minutes without worrying:
what if you set yourself the challenge of going 5 minutes without dwelling on a negative thought… and then increasing this to 10 minutes, 15
minutes and then 30 minutes. This is called ‘brain-training’. If you can suspend your worrying and anxiety for 30 minutes, learn to extend it to
an hour, then two and then a fully day!
Featuring Shubham Verma, Fourth Engineer 21

LIGHT PURPLE FOCUS: ‘THE PROCRASTINATOR –
LET’S DO IT TOMORROW MAN’
U nder-pressure those with a light purple focus find themselves easily distracted. You may start more than you finish. You’re unable to focus
on one task. Your mind jumps from one activity to another – you find it hard to concentrate and get things done. You may also be prone to
procrastination – you may delay, defer or put-off tasks you know you need to do – but can’t find the energy.
• Write a to-do list: simple as this may sound, actually writing down your goals and priorities gives you more focus. Put down a time scale in
which the task needs to be done and share this with your colleagues. You’re less likely to back-out on a commitment, when you’ve made it
public.
• Chunk your activities: we tend to be more productive when we do our paperwork and admin in one chunk of time, then an operational task in
a second chunk of time, etc… You’re more likely to get in the flow. Resist starting a task, then leaving it to start something new.
•Whatever you do, be 100% focused: set yourself the challenge of making even a boring task interesting. Whatever you do or touch, see if
you can do it 5% better than you’ve done it before. Set yourself mini-goals and targets. The more interesting you make the work, the more
you’ll focus and concentrate.
22
BLUE SELF-CRITICAL:
‘THE SELF-CRITIC’
U nder-pressure ‘blue self-critics’ tend to blame
themselves when things don’t go to plan.
Their inner voice is one of being tough with themselves,
being self-critical and giving themselves a hard time.
Under pressure these colleagues ask themselves ‘the
wrong’ questions. They tend to ask: “how could I have
been so silly… or why don’t I pay more attention…
or why do these things always happen to me?”.
Consequently, they lose self-confidence and begin to
question their own skills or capabilities.
• Ask yourself healthy questions: when you’re under-
pressure ask yourself better questions,
eg: “what can I learn from this situation….how will I
bounce back from this stronger and wiser…”? This
channels your brain-power into seeing possibilities,
not thinking about failure.
• Learn to forgive yourself: everyone makes mistakes.
It’s not the falling – it’s how quickly you can get back
up, ready to take on the next challenge. When you’re
too self-critical you find excuses why not to do
something. If you learn to forgive yourself, you’re more
likely to expect more from yourself.
• Turn-off the self-critical voice: we live with ourselves
24/7/365. We’re not always aware of the inner
conversation we have with ourselves. When you’re
under-pressure pay attention to your inner talk. Is it
building you up or knocking you down? Remember,
you can control your thoughts – simply by being more
alert and conscious of what you say to yourself.
23
BLUE JUDGE: ‘THE FINGER-POINTER’
W hen you’re under-pressure do you find it easy to find fault with others? Those with the ‘blue judge’ energy quickly blame
others. They see others as being incompetent or the reason why they’ve encountered failure. They look out the window to
see who can they point the finger at? Problem is, this approach can escalate tensions – not diffuse it. When you blame others,
you can expect defensiveness and the temperature to rise.
• Focus on solving the problem not ‘who can I blame’?: when issues and problems arise, focus all your energy into how can we
put things right. Don’t allow yourself to get drawn into – whose fault is it…who needs to have their ears pulled? This will simply
lead to conflict and harsh words.
• Ask how can I put things right?: this is another powerful way to stop wasting energy into finding fault and unleash your energy
into putting things right. It also gives you credibility and respect – when others can see you’re trying to be helpful.
• Make the time to fact find: when problems arise, ask great questions like:
what events led up to this problem. If you weren’t afraid, what actions would you take? Where else have you solved something
similar – what did you do and how could you apply this now?
