Provide an example of a time you identified a workplace safety concern and explain how you addressed that concern.

Think about a time you came across a safety hazard in the workplace. Talk to the interviewer about what made that specific example a safety concern and how you went about either reporting the issues to the proper individual or how you were able to minimize that safety risk on your own.

"Last summer, I realized that the back door of one of our laboratory floors was unlocked for the majority of that day. There was a team that would prop it open because it was humid in their area of the building. This posed a safety risk because any person, including those not working at the lab, could access the laboratory floor at any point. I made my director aware, and he sent an email requesting that the door remain shut."
