How to Answer
As a Manufacturing Engineer you will probably have to go through safety training. This may include OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER training, OSHA 10-hour training, or facility-specific training. In your answer to this question, tell the interviewer if you have completed this training before and affirm your commitment to safety.

Answer Example
"Last summer I worked for a construction company and I had to get my OSHA 40-hour certification. I know that I'll have to renew this certification when I get started here. Safety is important to me and I always wear the appropriate PPE. I want to make sure my coworkers and I go home at the end of the day. What facility specific training do you provide?"

Experienced Example
"Having taken various industrial courses, I am very familiar with in-depth safety concepts and have even written basic safety documentation for certain machines. Hands-on safety practice was vital when I worked in construction, so I know a lot of safety standards by heart. Any other safety certificates necessary, I am happy to take even as a refresher."
