• {{lab_type}}: e.g., "a chemistry research lab"
• {{equipment_list}}: safety equipment types (e.g., fume hoods, fire extinguishers, eyewash stations)
• {{maintenance_frequency}}: e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually
• {{compliance_standards}}: e.g., OSHA, local regulations
• {{staff_roles}}: who will perform maintenance and who needs training
