Prep and Safety Briefing for Players

The safety briefing is given by a proctor before the Players move from the lobby to the staging area. It should not take more than a few minutes. Remind Players:

1. To sign in if they haven't already done so.
2. To yell "REAL WORLD" to stop the exercise if they observe anything unsafe taking place (they should trust their gut too).
3. To do a sharp instrument check...are you sure you don't have any on you?
4. Not to carry Survivor Volunteers down stairs. But instead, to let them stand and walk down and then resume the patient carry.
5. Have a flashlight for darkened areas. If you don't have a flashlight, don't go in.
6. What the different lanyard colors mean.
7. To leave PPB Training in better shape than we found it; don't leave any garbage or anything like that, or we don't get invited back. We are guests here.
8. The basic exercise flow: they'll stage. go into the village, assess, and render aid.
9. Not to take too long for assessment. And acknowledge people you see who need help even if you're not rescuing them yet...don't just ignore them. Talk about "response tempo".
10. If this is a mixed group, indicate the Team Leader.
11. To have fun, do not stress; it's only a FAIL if someone is hurt in the exercise. Otherwise, this is the place to make mistakes.
12. There will be a hotwash at the end.

Prep and Safety Briefing for Survivor Volunteers

The safety briefing is given by a proctor before the Survivor Volunteers move from the lobby to the staging area. Be sure to leave adequate time for questions. Let Survivor Volunteers know:

1. To sign in if they haven't already done so.
2. To yell "REAL WORLD" to stop the exercise if they observe anything unsafe taking place (they should trust their gut too).
3. To do a sharp instrument check...are you sure you don't have any on you?
4. They should never be carried down stairs. But instead, let them stand and walk down and then resume the patient carry.
5. What the different lanyard colors mean.
6. To leave PPB Training in better shape than we found it; don't leave any garbage or anything like that, or we don't get invited back. We are guests here.
7. The basic exercise flow: staging, going into the village, assessing, and rendering aid.
8. Get ready for the frequent "Hurry up and wait" of being a Volunteer Survivor.
9. There will be a hotwash at the end and they are welcome to participate and offer how things went from their perspective.
