On the surface, this question is about priorities, but it’s also designed to find out whether you know what you need to know in order to do the job – whether you know what’s important. A good answer would include inspecting any facilities that are in your area of responsibility, getting to know the managers at those facilities, and examining the company’s safety record to identify any patterns.

33⟩ Tell us have you ever been involved in a situation which has tested your mettle as a safety officer on a personal level?

There was this situation in which the university that I was working for fell under a vandalism attack. All security personnel looked for the perpetrator for three months but I was the one who managed to pinpoint a student responsible for the vile acts. It was unfortunate that the student was the son of my best friend. I had no option but to hand him in even though I knew I could very well let him go with a warning and none would be the wiser! My ethics said otherwise.
