QUESTION 19 OF 32

Talk about a time that you identified a safety concern in your workplace and what steps you took to correct this safety matter.

Safety is always a top priority in the workplace, especially when working with animals. The interviewer is trying to determine what prior safety training you have had and if you are comfortable addressing safety concerns or bringing them to the attention of your management team.

Think about a time that you recognized that there was a safety risk in your workplace. Talk to the interviewer about what steps you took to address the safety concern and what you learned from that process.

"At my previous employer, we had a very open waiting area and at times we would have very sick pets alongside animals that were just there for routine checkups and annual vaccinations. This was a potentially dangerous situation for animals that had contagious viral infections. I spoke with the management team and we were able to keep a small area for 'well pets' to safely wait to see their veterinarian."
