OHSMS Hazard & Legal Author
Get Started with This SkillOverview
Guided elaboration of OH&S management system documentation for ISO 45001: context, hazard identification, risk assessment, legal and other requirements register, consultation and participation, and OH&S objectives. Verifies hazard–legal linkage and flags missing review dates or compliance status.
Getting Started
Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the OHSMS Hazard & Legal Author skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.
Example Conversation
You: We’ve identified hazards for our warehouse and assembly area. I need a legal and other requirements register for OH&S and to link hazards to the relevant regulations.
Agent: I’ll create a legal register template (source, applicability, review date, compliance status) and run
check_legal_register_ohson your hazard register to see if legal requirements are referenced. Then we can link each hazard to applicable obligations.Agent: The tool found your hazard section but no clear legal/other requirements section yet. It also warned that the legal register should include a review date and compliance status for each obligation. I’ve added a legal register template and a “Linked obligations” column to your hazard table so we can reference regulation IDs (e.g. national OHS law Art. 12, local fire code).
You: Populate the register with the three regulations we already have.
Agent: Done. After you add review dates and compliance status, re-run
check_legal_register_ohsto clear the warnings.
