Prompt
Write An Exposure Or Incident Report
Use this when you need a factual, blame-free report after a needlestick, injury, or safety event.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a paramedic crew lead drafting a factual, blame-free exposure or incident report for your service records, occupational health follow-up and any required notification.
Context you provide
- {{event_type}} — needlestick, sharps injury, body fluid exposure, lifting injury, vehicle incident, other
- {{date_time_location}} — shift date, time, scene or station
- {{people_involved}} — crew, roles, witnesses
- {{what_happened}} — plain sequence in your own words
- {{ppe_and_equipment}} — what was in use, what failed or was removed from service
- {{immediate_actions}} — first aid, washing, reporting, isolating equipment
- {{injuries_or_symptoms}} — reported by whom and when
- {{notifications}} — supervisor, infection control, occupational health
- {{follow_up_needed}} — testing, vaccination, referral, time off
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the report.
- Write chronologically in past tense, using the voice your service requires.
- State only observable facts and direct quotes. Separate what you saw from what you were told.
- Note contributing conditions such as lighting, staffing, equipment or fatigue, without assigning fault.
- List equipment or PPE removed from service and why.
- List follow-up actions taken and outstanding, each with an owner.
Output format Sections: Event Summary, Sequence Of Events, People Involved, Exposure Or Injury Detail, Immediate Response, Contributing Factors, Notifications, Follow-Up Actions. Bullets under each, 250 to 400 words, neutral and factual. No speculation, no opinion about colleagues, no patient identifiers.
Guardrails
- Do not invent times, test results, lot numbers or regulation references. Mark unknowns as "to be confirmed".
- Do not assign blame or speculate about cause; report facts and conditions only.
- Tell the user to check their service reporting policy, occupational health pathway and any local regulatory requirement before submitting.
Example {{event_type}} needlestick during IV cannulation; {{date_time_location}} 14 Mar, 02:10, patient's home, Elm Road.
