The paper introduces DGEval, a benchmark of 1,678 questions designed to assess large language models (LLMs) on the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code Amendment 42‑24. It evaluates 13 models from six providers, finding that while the best model surpasses human practitioners on multiple‑choice tasks, all models perform poorly on safety‑critical areas such as stowage, segregation, and regulatory recall. The study concludes that LLMs can aid compliance tasks—especially structured Dangerous Goods List lookups with web search—but human oversight and authoritative source verification remain essential for safety‑critical deployment.

SAFARI is the first industrial benchmark for evaluating large language models (LLMs) in automotive hazard analysis and risk assessment (HARA) under ISO 26262. It comprises 3,000 de‑identified HARA cases and tests two tasks: open‑ended hazard generation and standards‑grounded risk classification, using a novel reference‑anchored LLM‑as‑a‑judge protocol. Experiments with nine state‑of‑the‑art LLMs show that while hazard narratives are often plausible, risk classification remains weak (best ASIL macro‑F1 = 0.261), with errors mainly due to missing scenario context and misjudged controllability. "whyItMatters":"The benchmark highlights the current limitations of LLMs in safety‑critical engineering workflows, guiding future research and expert oversight in automotive safety analysis."

DeepSafe‑SciHazard introduces a real‑world‑grounded benchmark for measuring scientific safety risks, comprising 2,400 hazardous and 600 oversafety questions across 12 disciplines. It defines a decomposed harm scoring system, DeHarm‑Score, that evaluates query severity, refusal behavior, and response‑level risk, further breaking down harm into executability and net‑new risk. An expert‑validation study shows DeHarm‑Score aligns 90.17% better with expert judgments than the best baseline, and the benchmark reveals that deep research agents score 32.3% higher on mean DeHarm‑Score than standard LLMs, highlighting a critical blind spot in current safety defenses.
Large language models (LLMs) increasingly support science, but they can also convert hazardous scientific knowledge into actionable misuse guidance. Existing benchmarks often rely on templated queries disconnected from real-world hazards, and employ LLM-as-a-Judge paradigms without domain grounding.
The paper introduces DiagSafe, a diagnostic evaluation framework that replaces binary safe/unsafe labels with prompt-level rubrics grounded in AI safety policies. DiagSafe uses a bilingual benchmark with an 84‑label safety taxonomy, comprising DiagBase and DiagAttack subsets, to assess safety and usefulness independently. Experiments show DiagSafe achieves high agreement with human annotations (95.34%) and strong inter‑judge consistency (Cohen’s κ = 0.864), revealing significant differences in unsafe rates and vulnerabilities across leading LLMs, especially in Chinese and multi‑turn contexts.
