Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Use the timer to protect time for questions, not to rush safety information.

Keep hazards and controls in separate segments when the briefing is complex.

Use short timers for repeat crews and longer timers for new groups.

Use an XTimer room when multiple leaders or displays need synchronized briefing time.
