Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Copying a generic plan that does not reflect the building, people or process.
Guardrail: Do not answer with unsupported lists, invent a single UK legal regime, confuse the 24-hour FSC1 window with working time, treat the FSC2 three-hour recommendation as a limit or present internal allocations as NEBOSH weights.
Assigning an essential action to one person without competent cover.

Memory anchors
Plan for the actual premises
Warning, evacuation, shutdown and assistance must match hazards and occupancy.
Roles need deputies
Critical actions require competent cover across shifts and absences.
Call, clear, count
Summon help, move people to safety and use reliable accountability arrangements.
Shared plans must connect
Responsible parties need aligned alarms, routes, information and emergency roles.
Recovery starts in planning
Pollution control, critical operations and communication affect post-fire continuity.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
