What problem does it solve?
Generic AI-generated safety documentation is frequently rejected by regulators: it relies on vague task descriptions, collapses risk controls to personal protective equipment (PPE) only, lacks assigned action owners, stops root cause analysis at "worker error", and leaks personal health data into widely shared files. This Skill eliminates these failures by enforcing task-specific similar-exposure group (SEG) definition, full hierarchy of controls application, mandatory de-identification of special-category health data, and pre-output domain-expert review.
Core Features & Use Cases
- SEG-Based Assessment: Groups workers into specific similar-exposure groups by task and hazard agent, refusing generic "all staff" categorizations to ensure assessment specificity.
- Cited OEL Comparison: Compares measured or estimated exposure to authoritative occupational exposure limits (OEL/WEL/PEL) with full source and year citations, eliminating fabricated or parallel limit tables that reduce regulatory defensibility.
- Deterministic Ergonomics Scoring: Uses a built-in engine to generate RULA, REBA, or NIOSH lifting equation scores with no free-text narration, grounded in recognized international ergonomics standards.
- Hierarchy of Controls Ranking: Ranks all risk controls from elimination and substitution down to PPE, never accepting PPE-only or surveillance-only plans without explicit "not reasonably practicable" justification.
- OEL-Linked Surveillance Scheduling: Sets health-surveillance cadences (audiometry, lung function, HAV monitoring) tied directly to OEL comparison results, with mandatory small-cell suppression for all health outcome data.
- Use Case: A safety manager can use this Skill to assess press-shop noise exposure for line 2 operators: it defines the specific SEG, compares 92 dB(A) measured exposure to the UK Control of Noise at Work upper action value, ranks engineering controls (acoustic enclosure) before hearing protection, sets an annual audiometry schedule, and de-identifies all worker data before generating the final report.
Quick Start
Use the health-risk-assessment skill to produce a compliant occupational health risk assessment for the press-shop operator SEG, comparing their measured 92 dB(A) noise exposure to the relevant UK OEL and generating a de-identified report with a hierarchy-of-controls action plan and OEL-linked audiometry surveillance schedule.
