What would you do if you saw someone doing something unsafe at work?

"I would call them out on it. I would lecture them about how their unsafe act could negatively impact everyone on the team. I would then make them promise they wouldn't repeat their mistake, and I would document it and pass that on to my higher-ups."

Your interviewer is curious whether you would prove to be an asset or a liability in a situation like this. The last thing they want is to hire someone who creates or contributes to an unsafe work environment resulting in worker's compensation claims or an OSHA complaint or violation (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). So familiarize yourself with Home Depot's safety rules and regulations, and offer any instances where you enhanced the safety practices on the job.
