GENERAL DRILL PRECAUTIONS:
1.
Observe personnel for signs of heat stress.
2.
One person on a ladder at a time and one hand should be on the handrail at all times.
3.
Ensure overhaul equipment is handled carefully.
4.
Ensure DCTT is positioned to prevent activation of unauthorized equipment.
SAFETY:
All DCTT members are safety observers. Do not permit any action that endangers personnel or machinery. In the
event of an actual casualty, ensure the words ACTUAL CASUALTY are used and are passed to CCS. Allow the
EOOW to pass the word over the 1MC "Actual casualty (description), freeze the drill"; followed by additional
instructions, if required. DCTT will assist the watch stander and relieve him/her, if necessary, to prevent harm to
personnel or machinery.
All DCTT members shall monitor personnel for signs of heat stress and may at any time question personnel as to
their ability to continue training. If personnel become incapacitated, they shall be tended to as necessary without
interrupting the drill unless additional assistance is required.

DRILL CRITIQUE:
Always after each training evolution the training team must conduct a debrief. It is necessary for the training team to
discuss and document a list of "Lessons Learned." This list assists the team in improving their training skills and in the
training of their personnel. It also enables the team to make corrections and improve the effectiveness of their training.
The information must be passed on to all hands so the ship's crew can understand the errors that were made during the
drill. This may reduce the possibilities of the same mistakes from reoccurring in future drills.
