QUESTION 16 OF 35

How important is safety to you?

Safety at any job should be every employee's top priority, especially on a construction site. As a Roofer, you understand the dangers of working above the ground with obstacles all around you. Companies must follow safety laws and require their employees to do the same. The interviewer wants to hear that you take your safety and the safety of others seriously and that you will follow the company's safety procedures. Explain how and why safety is important to you and how you follow safety protocols.

When responding, avoid saying that safety is unimportant or acting indifferent about safety. When an employee is injured or dies on the job, the employer will be hit with significant fines and lawsuits, which they aim to avoid. You do not want the interviewer to feel you would be a liability if hired.

"Safety is extremely important to me. I use all required safety equipment upon entering a job site and remind my crew if they are not following safety protocols. I have a friend who died from falling off a roof because he wasn't harnessed in like he should have been. I do not want that to happen to myself or my crew. It is important to me that my team and I all make it home safely at the end of the day."
