Blame avoidance

Defensiveness and blame avoidance may have been elements in this strategy, but the justifications were obvious. Partly it has been considered a matter of simple necessity. As one of tbe agency veterans explained, with reference to the pioneer days, they received piles of paper from the industry and were severely under-resourced in terms of making expert-based reviews of all the technical documentation (see Kringen 2009). But there were also more positive justifications. It would not only empower the industry, but also engage them actively in the risk management processes and make them accountable for the solutions adopted. 

If the operator had not opened the valve when he found it shut, the explosion could have been avoided. However, it is hard to blame him. His action was instinctive. What would you do if you found something undone that you should have done some time ago ... 

Clearly focus on finding causes and management system weaknesses, and avoid assigning blame. 

Avoid creating an emotional effect to what you are saying, such as hy using superlatives. Consider replacing Procedures were insufficient and totally inadequate with Procedures must be improved to prevent similar future incidents. Avoid suggesting negligence or blame rather, provide constructive recommendations that improvements or additions are necessary. 

Heavy kava users have also been observed to lose weight and have low plasma protein levels and low platelet and lymphocyte counts. Pulmonary hypertension and shortness of breath have rarely occurred. Kava should be avoided in pregnant women and children, since the consequences of use are unknown. A recent cause for concern is an uncommon idiosyncratic fiver toxicity associated with kava use in some cases, this has been severe enough to warrant fiver transplantation. It is unclear whether kava alone is to blame, but the safety of this herb is under review. Several European countries, where this problem was first reported, have either suspended sales or are acting to make kava a prescription drug. 

In addition, it is important not to spend time assessing blame. Some time ago, I had a boss who spent a good portion of his day tracking down mistakes and those who made them. That attitude paralyzed the whole organization, to the point that no one did very much for fear of making a mistake. The proper approach to mistakes is that, once they are uncovered, they be corrected quickly and the individuals try harder to avoid them. Looking to assess blame only makes people more secretive and less cooperative in fixing problems. 

Any physical exertion or hot weather which makes them sweat soon has those around them quickly moving away. Indeed many victims feel isolated because relationships inevitably break down, and so they try to avoid human contact and often work at home. One person in 10,000 has the faulty gene that is to blame and this was identified in 1999 by Ian Smith and coworkers at Queen Mary College in London. His advice to sufferers is to avoid all fish, red meat, eggs and soya, and eat mainly chicken and salads as the foods least likely to generate trimethylamine in the body. 

Interviewing people about their voting habits is revealing. There are individuals who state that they have never voted. Often, they claim that their individual vote doesn t matter. Some people blame their absence from the voting booth on the fact that they do not know enough about the issues. In a democracy, we can express our opinions to our elected leaders, but more than half of us sometimes avoid choosing the people who make the policies that affect our lives. 

It is easy to blame accidents on human error, but good design can often minimize this.161 Avoid poor lighting or contrast. Provide a checklist so that the operator will find it easy to recall all of the necessary information. Most valves have right-handed threads. Do not mix in any that have left-handed threads. Mount them so that they are easy to access, and the labels are easy to see. 

When operating from strength and security Can take responsibility for a bad situation, avoiding blame or resentment. 

Another important difference between the SCF and MP2 calculations is that in the latter the exponent in the power dependence of the computational cost on the system size cannot be reduced by integral prescreening, although substantial savings still can be realized. The fact that canonical spin orbitals are delocalized over entire molecules is to blame for this problem. Even if the number of the important ERIs grows proportionally to N, the integral transformation cannot be avoided in any electron correlation method that uses canonical spin orbitals. It is clear that in order to circumvent the dependence...
