Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm the list before writing.

- For each step, state who to contact, method, maximum wait, and trigger to move on.
- Include decision points for calling emergency services or the safety officer.
- Add a separate after-hours section with different contacts.
- Produce a quick-reference contact table.
- Use plain, direct language. Flag every assumption.
Output format Start with a one-line purpose and scope. Then a numbered escalation list. Then a contact table with columns Level, Contact, Method, Time limit, Trigger. Then after-hours steps. Tone: calm, imperative. Length: under two pages. Leave out generic safety advice, legal citations, and anything not requested.
Guardrails

- Flag assumptions and tell the user to verify all numbers with the site safety officer and local emergency services.
- If a required input is missing, ask for it before writing.
