Safety awareness is a key factor for any job. In this question, you are specifically being asked to give an example of something that was not safe. We've all done it, so don't fret about how you'll be judged based on your answer. Try to think of something that wasn't a blatant disregard for policies or procedures or in direct conflict with something a supervisor told you to do.
"Well it might be hard to admit that I've done things on the job that weren't safe, but I also like to think I've learned from them and have never repeated those mistakes. One time, there was yellow tape and cones around a certain spot in the shop, indicating it was not safe to walk in that area. However, it was there for over a week and there just didn't seem to be anything unsafe going on in that area. I was tempted to cut through the tape because it was a lot faster route to the office, but instead, I found myself cutting the corner just a little too close each time I went past. None of my coworkers seemed to know what was going on, but I finally asked a night shift supervisor who said he just assumed the day shift had put it there. Turned out that the situation had been safely resolved a long time ago, and no one felt it was their job to remove the safety cones and tape."
