Los Angeles County Department of Public Works must put the safety of the public, and their employees before anything else. For this reason, they are careful to hire people who are just as safety-focused. If you have safety-related training, take the time to walk the interviewer through this education. For instance, maybe you have some safety-related tickets or certifications that will solidify your expertise in safety. Talk about the safety precautions that you take on the job, or plan to take in this role.

"Safety must be at the forefront of everything that I do in this industry. Over the past six years, I have taken safety certifications such as Heights Safety, Electrical Safety, Chemical Safety, and Road Safety. I brought these certifications for you, in case you would like a copy for my candidate file. I have never had an accident in the workplace, and I believe this is due to my attention to detail, willingness to pace myself, and strong communication during projects."

"The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works job posting mentioned a variety of potential hazards which included confined spaces, frequent lifting, heavy equipment, traffic, extreme weather, and chemical exposure. I understand the importance of exercising safety in all that I do when facing these types of situations. I am new to my career, so I have not received any formal safety training; however, I am eager to learn and am willing to begin studying in preparation for this role."
