## Description

This MCP server provides a decision-support system for safety professionals and operators. It calculates required PPE across categories like head, eye, hand, foot, and body protection by analyzing specific work activities, identified hazards, and exposure intensities. Use `evaluate_ppe_needs` to determine specific equipment, `check_ppe_compatibility` to ensure selected items work together, `get_hazard_severity_index` to quantify risk, and `get_task_risk_profile` to understand baseline hazards for any task.

## Tools

### get_task_risk_profile
Provides a summary of the risk landscape for a specific work activity

### check_ppe_compatibility
Validates if a set of selected PPE items can be worn together

### evaluate_ppe_needs
Determines the specific PPE requirements for a given set of task parameters

### get_hazard_severity_index
Calculates a standardized severity score based on hazards and intensities

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What PPE is required for welding with high heat and light exposure?
```

**Response:** 
```
For welding with high heat and light exposure, you require welding helmet, heat-resistant gloves, and flame-retardant coveralls.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Are safety goggles and a full-face respirator compatible?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the full-face respirator may interfere with the seal and fit of standard safety goggles.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the typical hazards for chemical mixing?
```

**Response:** 
```
Typical hazards for chemical mixing include chemical splashes, vapor inhalation, and skin irritation.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine what PPE is needed for a new task?**
You can use the `evaluate_ppe_needs` tool by providing the work activity, the list of hazards, and the intensity of those hazards.

**Can I check if my selected safety gear is safe to wear together?**
Yes, the `check_ppe_compatibility` tool validates if your selected items might conflict with each other.

**How is the risk level calculated?**
The `get_hazard_severity_index` tool calculates a standardized score based on the combination of hazard types and their exposure levels.
