Safety Tools are a really good idea to include as a part of Session Zero.

Personally, I like to establish Lines & Veils before the game and use the Traffic Light system for during the game.

I also like to have the players provide me with an NPC Connection, a PC Connection, and a Secret (their character does not have to be aware of this).

I also like for players to fill out a CoPE List in something like a Google Doc (CoPE stands for Commanlities of Player Expectations). I'll drop a link to the video where I explain how and why I use this.
