from the correct perspective• Learning by doing and being directly involved – supports
adult learning styles• Realistic time and decision-making pressures to be built in

processes• Allows for mistakes to be made in a safe and supportive
environment• Development and testing of correct response in high-risk
degraded and emergency situations
Safety and compliance
