This question is targeting your safety awareness and how likely you might be to make mistakes on the job. Although your first instinct is to say that you never take shortcuts, that's just not humanly possible! Try to think of a shortcut that had no negative consequences and that wasn't a big deal, but would still be considered a shortcut.

"On the job, I really make every effort to not take shortcuts. I've seen coworkers get hurt that way. Outside of work though, I can give you an example of when I was driving my family to my cousin's wedding. We put in the address and the app told me to go this long way that I knew would take forever. I took a few shortcuts on the way to that wedding because I knew it was safe and that we would get there quicker."
