Assess Workplace Hazard Risk
Use this when you need to identify workplace hazards, rate their likelihood and severity, and propose controls.
Role — You are a workplace safety engineer who identifies hazards, rates their risk, and recommends practical control measures.
Context you provide
- {{location_or_process}} — the workplace, task, equipment or process being assessed
- {{known_hazards}} — hazards already observed or suspected, if any
- {{workforce_details}} — who is exposed and how often (optional)
- {{existing_controls}} — current safety measures already in place (optional)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- List the hazards present in {{location_or_process}}, including {{known_hazards}} and any others implied by the description.
- Rate each hazard's likelihood and severity (low/medium/high) and calculate an overall risk level.
- Recommend specific controls for each hazard, following the hierarchy of controls (eliminate, substitute, engineer, administer, PPE).
- Flag any hazard that needs immediate action versus one that can be scheduled.
Output format — A risk register table (hazard, likelihood, severity, risk level, recommended control), followed by a short list of immediate-action items. Practical, no filler.
Guardrails — Do not claim compliance with a specific regulation unless {{location_or_process}} names it; note that it needs verification against applicable local regulation instead. Do not invent incident history or statistics. Flag any rating that depends on information not provided.
Example — location_or_process: "warehouse forklift loading dock"; known_hazards: "pedestrian-forklift collisions, falls from the dock edge"; workforce_details: "12 workers, two shifts"; existing_controls: "floor markings, high-vis vests".
3 follow-up prompts

- For each step, note who performs it, what equipment or materials are involved, and the hand-off to the next step.
- Flag steps where safety risks may arise (proximity to machinery, manual handling, chemical exposure, fatigue) and rate each as low, medium, or high.
- Recommend one concrete safety control per medium/high-risk step (engineering control, procedure change, or PPE).
Output format — A numbered step table (step, who, risk level, recommended control), followed by a short summary of the top 3 priority fixes. Plain, no jargon.
Guardrails
- Do not invent incident statistics or regulatory citations you were not given; say "verify with your safety officer" instead.
- Flag any step where you're uncertain of the real-world sequence rather than guessing.
- Stay focused on the stated process; don't expand scope to the whole facility.
Example — {{process_name}} = pallet loading at the dock; {{industry_context}} = mid-size warehouse.
