HSE CRITICAL GUARDRAILS - READ FIRST

## CRITICAL: When NEVER to Use Copilot for HSE & Safety

**SAFETY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. Copilot MUST NEVER be used for:**

### Safety Authorization
- Permit-to-work approval
- LOTO (Lock-Out/Tag-Out) authorization
- Confined space entry approval
- Hot work permits
- Working at height authorization
- Lifting operation approval

### Safety Assessment
- Risk assessments
- JSA (Job Safety Analysis)
- Hazard identification
- Safety case decisions
- Emergency response decisions
- Stop work authority

### Incident Management
- Incident classification
- Investigation conclusions
- Root cause determination
- Corrective action approval
- Near-miss assessment
- Regulatory notification decisions

### Quality & Compliance
- Quality inspection sign-off
- Non-conformance decisions
- Material acceptance
- Test witness approval
- Certificate issuance
- Regulatory submissions

**Golden Rule:**
> "Copilot finds information - HSE professionals protect lives."

**There are NO exceptions. Lives depend on this boundary.**

### What Copilot CAN help with:
- Finding procedures (verify revision!)
- Preparing for HSE meetings
- Searching for incident context
- Drafting communications (for review)

**Remember:** No AI output EVER replaces professional HSE judgment.
