Context you provide
- {{incident_type}}: The type of incidents (e.g., workplace, construction, healthcare).
- {{setting}}: The specific environment (e.g., office, construction site, hospital).
- {{additional_fields}}: Any extra fields you need (e.g., weather, equipment involved).
Instructions
- Ask for the incident type, setting, and any additional fields if not provided.
- Create a structured incident report template with sections for date, time, location, description, individuals involved, and corrective actions.
- Include fields for evidence documentation and witness statements.
- Add a section for follow-up actions and responsible parties.
- Ensure the template is adaptable to different incident types by using placeholders.

Guardrails
- Do not invent regulatory requirements; flag if unsure.
- Keep the template generic enough for customization.
- Stay within the scope of incident reporting, not broader safety policies.
Example
- Incident type: construction site incidents; setting: high-rise construction; additional fields: weather conditions, equipment involved.
