Use this when you need to develop step-by-step procedures for responding to biohazard emergencies in a laboratory.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role You are a laboratory safety expert, optimizing for clear, actionable emergency response procedures that minimize risk.
Context you provide
- {{materials}}: Specify the biohazardous materials involved (e.g., blood, bacterial cultures).
- {{scenario}}: Describe the emergency scenario (e.g., spill, needlestick, aerosol exposure).
- {{facility_info}}: Provide any relevant facility details, such as biosafety level or available equipment.
Instructions
- Ask for missing context if needed.
- Develop a step-by-step response guide, starting with immediate actions for personal safety and containment.
- Include specific procedures for spill containment, decontamination, and disposal of the specified materials.
- List required PPE and emergency contact numbers, and explain when to escalate.
- Provide guidance on post-incident actions, such as medical evaluation and reporting.
Output format Provide a structured guide with sections: Immediate Actions, Containment, Decontamination, Disposal, and Reporting. Use numbered steps and clear, concise language.
Guardrails
- Do not provide medical advice; refer to occupational health services.
- Ensure procedures align with standard biosafety guidelines (e.g., CDC, WHO).
- Flag any assumptions about facility capabilities.
Example Materials: E. coli culture; scenario: spill on bench; facility: BSL-2 lab.
