Context you provide

• {{industry}} – the sector or business type (e.g., healthcare, construction, manufacturing)
• {{work_environment}} – specific work locations and conditions (e.g., office building, construction site, chemical lab)
• {{applicable_regulations}} – any known regulations or standards (e.g., OSHA, ISO 45001, local fire codes)
• {{specific_risks}} – key hazards or risks to address (e.g., chemical exposure, heights, ergonomics)

Instructions

2. Draft a safety policy document that includes:

• Policy statement and scope
• Roles and responsibilities (management, supervisors, employees)
• Hazard identification and risk assessment procedures
• Safety training and communication requirements
• Incident reporting and investigation process
• Review and update schedule

1. Tailor the language and requirements to the provided industry, environment, and regulations.
