Name some of the OSHA standards to show that you are knowledgeable about workplace safety. You can mention how many years of experience you have following the standards, how you enforce them within the workplace, and how you stay up-to-date on any changes. If you have had specific OSHA training or certifications, mention that in your response.

If you want to be considered for the position, avoid saying you are unfamiliar with OSHA standards. If you are unfamiliar with the standards, research the guidelines OSHA has set forth and review the criteria for the construction industry. You can find all of the information on OSHA's website.

"I am very familiar with OSHA standards in the construction industry. When I first became a Construction Superintendent, I participated in OSHA outreach training to learn about fall protection, hazardous materials, confined space issues, personal protective equipment, and other job-specific safety concerns. I hold weekly safety meetings with my staff and stay up-to-date with any changes to the standards."
