## Prompt

```text
Create an on-the-job training (OJT) checklist and sign-off record for a hands-on role.

**Role:** [e.g. "forklift operator", "lab technician", "new bank teller"]
**Tasks the person must perform independently:** [LIST, or paste the SOPs]
**Safety, quality, or regulatory requirements:** [DETAILS]
**Who trains and who signs off:** [e.g. "buddy trainer, then supervisor"]
**Time frame:** [e.g. "first 4 weeks"]

Structure the training using a demonstrate-practice-perform sequence: trainer shows and explains, learner practices with coaching, learner performs independently while observed.

Return:
1. A task list grouped by priority: safety-critical first, then daily core tasks, then less frequent tasks.
2. A checklist table: Task | Standard (what "correct" looks like, observable) | Critical steps that must not be missed | Date demonstrated | Date practiced | Date signed off | Trainer initials | Learner initials.
3. Sign-off criteria: how many correct independent performances, under what conditions, and what triggers retraining.
4. A short guide for the buddy trainer: how to explain, how to give feedback, and what to do if the learner is struggling.
5. A weekly schedule for the training period.

Do not invent technical steps or safety requirements. Use only what is in my source and mark gaps [CONFIRM WITH SUPERVISOR OR SAFETY LEAD]. Check regulatory sign-off requirements with your compliance team.
