QUESTION 29 OF 35

How important is on-the-job safety to you?

In any profession, on-the-job safety is essential, and the interviewer wants to hear that you consider your safety and the safety of others a priority. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has regulations to keep employees safe. If these regulations are not followed and an employee becomes injured, the employer will be heavily fined. The interviewer wants to hear that you will follow safety protocols if hired and not be a liability to the company.

Don't tell the interviewer that you believe on-the-job safety is not important. If the interviewer feels that you do not take safety seriously, they will not hire you. Safety is especially important in the construction industry, and the interviewer wants to hear that you make safety a priority. Explain how you practice safety in your profession.

"I take my safety and the safety of others very seriously and would say it is my top priority when at work. Working on construction sites and around electricity is dangerous work, and I want myself and others to go home at the end of the day. I always follow all safety protocols and wear the appropriate safety gear while at work."
