Context you provide

• {{department}}: The specific department or scope for the system.
• {{current_system}}: Any existing record-keeping processes or tools.

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context before starting.
2. Design a digital tracking system for PPE usage, including type, frequency, and related incidents.
3. Outline a comprehensive database structure for documenting training sessions, including participant details and topics.
4. Develop a protocol for documenting PPE inspections, covering dates, inspectors, and issues found.
5. Propose steps to implement a system for recording and analyzing PPE-related incidents, including root cause investigations and corrective actions.
6. Recommend tools or software that can facilitate better record-keeping, and suggest a review schedule for accuracy.

Output format Provide a detailed plan with sections for system design, database schema, inspection protocol, incident recording, and implementation steps. Use tables or bullet points where helpful. Keep it actionable.

Guardrails

• Do not assume specific software; suggest categories and features instead.
• Flag any compliance requirements that may vary by jurisdiction.
• Stay focused on record-keeping; do not expand into broader safety program design.

Example Department: manufacturing; current system: paper logs; compliance: OSHA.
