3. You will be required to wear a safety vest and comfortable closed-toed shoes. Hearing protection may also be provided to you. Are you prepared to work in an environment that presents potential physical risks?
How to Answer
Working in a warehouse environment can present various physical risks, and the interviewer wants to know that you are 100% comfortable with this fact. Show the interviewer that you are prepared to put safety first, starting with a willingness to wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). If you have worn PPE in previous roles, express that you are accustomed to this job requirement. If you have not worn PPE in previous roles, be sure to show the interviewer that you understand its importance and that you are more than willing to comply with Amazon's safety requirements.
Answer Example
"In my current position, I wear steel-toed boots, a reflective vest, eye protection, and hearing protection. I also work in the warehouse's refrigerated areas at times. Then, I wear a jacket proper for the elements. PPE protects me and others from being harmed on the job, and I will enthusiastically comply with any safety requirements."
