+# SmartQHSE HSE Glossary v1
+Authoritative HSE / occupational-safety term definitions: TRIR, LTIFR, near-miss, risk assessment, permit-to-work, hierarchy of controls, ALARP, OSHA, hazard identification, root-cause analysis. Each term has aliases, short definition, and links back to a long-form explainer. v1 = 10 terms; v2 will expand to 50+.

+## Files
+| File | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `data.jsonl` | One JSON record per line — primary format. Loadable via `datasets.load_dataset()` directly. |
+| `data.json` | Same data as a single JSON array (with array key matching the source). |
+| `data.csv` | Selected fields as CSV for spreadsheet users. |

+## Considerations for using the data
+- Very small at v1 (10 entries). Expansion to 50+ planned for v2 (Aug 2026 snapshot).
+- Definitions reflect US OSHA terminology primarily. UK HSE / EU equivalents noted where they differ.
+- Each term links to a longer explainer at canonical_url; the dataset is intentionally a quick-reference layer, not a textbook.

+[SmartQHSE](https://www.smartqhse.com) is the AI-native HSE/QHSE platform for construction,
+oil & gas, manufacturing, and industrial teams. We publish open data because the broader HSE
+profession deserves free access to the safety statistics our trade bodies otherwise gate
+behind expensive memberships.
