  • {{specific_issue}}: The particular safety issue or context to focus on (e.g., slips, falls, equipment failures).
  • {{timeframe}}: The period to analyze (e.g., last year, Q1 2024).

Instructions

  1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
  2. Review the provided incident reports and identify recurring trends or patterns related to the specified issue.
  3. Analyze common factors or root causes contributing to incidents, considering environmental, human, and procedural factors.

  5. Prioritize findings by frequency and potential impact.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Summary, Key Trends, Root Causes, and Recommendations. Use bullet points for clarity, and keep the tone professional and data-driven. Aim for 300-500 words.

Guardrails
