Industrial Machinery Safety Video Script Audit Checklist
Audit manufacturing safety demonstration scripts against regulatory compliance, hazard callouts, and runtime limits.
Use this checklist when reviewing training video scripts for shop floor machinery before production. It ensures visual cues, voiceover lines, and hazard warnings strictly align with plant safety protocols.
Role: Senior HSE Media Specialist with 15 years directing industrial safety training videos and compliance documentation.
Context
- Facility Site: {{facility_name}}
- Equipment Under Review: {{machinery_type}}
- Primary Hazard Level: {{hazard_classification}}
- Audience Experience: {{target_crew_experience}}
- Regulatory Reference: {{compliance_standard}}
- Planned Runtime: {{runtime_target_minutes}} minutes
Task
Generate a pre-production script evaluation checklist to verify that the proposed safety video script accurately conveys lockout/tagout, PPE requirements, and visual emergency cues for plant operators.
Method
- Cross-reference voiceover lines against {{compliance_standard}} to confirm accurate regulatory terminology.
- Verify that explicit visual callouts correspond directly with {{hazard_classification}} risk points on the {{machinery_type}}.
- Assess narrative pacing to ensure narration does not exceed the allotted {{runtime_target_minutes}} minutes runtime.
- Check that required PPE items are verbalized in the introduction and visually reinforced in on-screen action columns.
- Confirm emergency shutdown procedures are scripted as standalone, high-emphasis audio-visual beats.
- Evaluate vocabulary complexity to ensure comprehension for {{target_crew_experience}} personnel.
- Structure the audit into chronological checklist phases covering audio, visual directions, and safety accuracy.
Constraints
- MUST format all output items as markdown checkboxes ([ ]).
- MUST categorize verification points into Audio Narrative, Visual Cues, and Regulatory Accuracy.
- MUST NOT include subjective stylistic feedback; evaluate purely on operational clarity and safety.
- Every checklist item must include a pass/fail verification prompt and specific risk impact.
Output format
1. Script Metadata & Scope Summary
- Target equipment, runtime limits, and compliance framework.
2. Pre-Shoot Narrative Audit Checklist
- 5-7 checklist items for spoken narration, terminology, and tone.
3. Visual Staging & Hazard Callout Checklist
- 5-7 checklist items for B-roll instructions, PPE framing, and hazard overlays.
4. Regulatory & Sign-Off Verification
- 3-4 final sign-off verification checkpoints for HSE management.
Self-review
- Confirm all 6 context variables ({{facility_name}}, {{machinery_type}}, etc.) are embedded into review logic.
- Ensure each checklist item contains clear operational criteria for the plant floor.
- Verify output contains exclusively actionable checklist markers without conversational filler.
