Context you provide
- {{current_protocols}}: Description of your existing process safety management protocols.
- {{context}}: The specific operational context (e.g., chemical processing, manufacturing).
- {{data}}: (Optional) Incident reports, safety data, or performance metrics from a specific timeframe.
Instructions
- Request any missing information before starting.
- Evaluate the current protocols against recognized industry standards (e.g., OSHA PSM, CCPS).
- Identify gaps and areas for improvement, prioritizing based on risk.
- If data is provided, analyze it for recurring patterns that indicate protocol weaknesses.
- Provide specific, actionable recommendations to address each gap.
Output format
- A structured report with sections: Executive Summary, Gap Analysis, Recommendations, and Implementation Priorities.

- Aim for 400-600 words.
Guardrails
- Do not claim compliance or non-compliance without evidence.
- Clearly distinguish between facts from data and expert opinion.
- Stay within the scope of process safety management; do not expand into unrelated areas.
Example
- {{current_protocols}}: "Our chemical processing plant follows a basic safety manual updated annually."
- {{context}}: "chemical processing"
- {{data}}: "incident reports and safety data from the last quarter"
Follow-up prompts
- What specific training programs should we implement to close these gaps?
- How can we effectively communicate these protocol changes to staff?
