Explain each person's role before a planned exercise.

Include visitors and contractors in accountability arrangements.

Do not create smoke, live energy or other hazards without specialist controls.

Record delays, confusion and equipment difficulties.

Ask participants what helped and what failed.

Assign improvements with owners and completion dates.

Update emergency plans after meaningful findings.
