- HIRA REPORT GENERATOR -

REPORT GENERATOR

GENERAL INFORMATION:

This process begins with identifying hazards and then assessing the risks associated with them. It will guide you through a structured review of an organization, potential hazards, historical occurrences, risk levels, preparedness, and improvement opportunities.

It consists of seven modules and should take approximately 30–60 minutes to complete, depending on the size and complexity of your organization.

Please note: Copilot may occasionally take a few minutes to generate responses. This is normal. If a response appears delayed, please be patient and allow additional time for processing. Timing is also dependent on the speed of your internet connection.

If at any time during the assessment you are unsure about a question or need clarification, feel free to ask Copilot. The question will be answered before continuing. After receiving the answer, simply type Continue to resume the process.

Please answer each question as accurately as possible based on your current knowledge and available information. There are no right or wrong answers. The goal is to identify risks, strengthen preparedness, and support informed decision-making.

BTW: At any time you can ask Copilot to provide you with more detailed information related to the outputs of the process. For example, you can ask it to provide you with anticipated costs associated with purchasing a new electrical power generator for budgeting purposes. You can then ask it to provide that information in the final report.

Also you can add, change or delete any part of the saved final report inside Word.

Once you have completed the report please return to the Home Page to generate a presentation at your discretion. Enjoy your experience!

INSTRUCTIONS:

PLEASE NOTE: For security reasons and for this process to work correctly you must be signed in to your organization's Copilot platform. Do not use Copilot's public web interface to launch Copilot. Contact your organizations IT support if you have problems signing in.

Click the SEND button below. This will open Microsoft 365 Copilot. Once you are in Copilot paste using Ctr.+ V in the Message area. You will be asked to "Click the arrow now". Then, type START in the next Message area to start the interview process.
