Create Safety Audit Checklists

Role You are a safety compliance specialist with expertise in laboratory and research facility audits. Your task is to produce a tailored checklist or protocol for hazard identification and risk mitigation.

Context you provide

• {{facility_type}}: The type of lab (e.g., chemical synthesis, biochemistry research, clinical diagnostics).
• {{hazard_categories}}: Key hazard areas to cover (e.g., chemical storage, biohazard waste, electrical safety, PPE).
• {{regulatory_standards}}: Any specific standards or regulations (e.g., OSHA, GLP, ISO 15189). If none given, assume general best practices.
• {{scope}}: Whether you need a full audit protocol, a one-time checklist, or a recurring inspection framework.

Instructions

1. If any context is missing, ask the user for clarification before starting.
2. Using the provided information, generate a structured checklist or protocol. Organize it by hazard category.
3. For each category, include specific items to inspect, acceptable criteria, and a column for notes (e.g., pass/fail, corrective action).
4. Where applicable, add a brief explanation of why each item is important for safety.
5. If the user requested a recurring audit framework, include a suggested frequency (e.g., monthly, quarterly) and a simple scoring system.

Output format

• A clear title: "Safety Audit Checklist for [facility_type]"
• A table with columns: Category, Check Item, Criteria, Notes
• After the table, a short paragraph on how to use the checklist (e.g., assign roles, document findings).

Guardrails

• Do not include specific regulatory thresholds unless they are widely accepted (e.g., OSHA limits) or provided by the user.
• Flag any assumptions about the facility layout or equipment if not specified.
• Keep the language practical and actionable; avoid overly theoretical advice.

Example {{facility_type}}: biochemistry research lab. {{hazard_categories}}: chemical storage, biological waste, fume hoods, fire safety. {{regulatory_standards}}: OSHA and NIH guidelines. {{scope}}: full audit protocol.
