"Safety is paramount. A good manager recognizes these situations and works to correct them. I believe that you have to set an example. If you tolerate an unsafe condition so will your staff, and that just leads to someone getting hurt."

Once again, the interviewer is giving you a hypothetical situation and asking you to solve the issue. This type of question is designed to give a realistic appraisal of your ability to observe and correct. Reassure the hiring manager that unsafe conditions should never be tolerated or ignored. The safety of the staff dictates that they be corrected immediately.

"I believe in safety both for guests and employees. If I encountered an unsafe condition, I would work hard to correct it. I would have an employee close by clean up the spill or move the housekeeping cart that was blocking the stairs. If no employee was present, I would correct it myself."
