About your past

Tell me about the day-to-day EHS support you've provided at a manufacturing site. What did a normal week look like?

What they are checking: Whether they have real site-level experience running safety programs, not just writing policy.

How do you get production supervisors to treat safety as part of the job and not an interruption?

Tell me about a time a business priority conflicted with an EHS requirement. How was it resolved?

What they are checking: Whether they understand business drivers but hold the line when it matters.

You see a worker bypassing a machine guard to keep production moving. What do you do in the moment and afterward?

What they are checking: Whether they act firmly on hazards while working on why people felt they had to take the shortcut.

A new product or process is being introduced. How would you design EHS into it before it reaches the floor?

What they are checking: Whether they think proactively about hazards during design, which this posting calls designing for EHS.

About the work

Walk me through how you investigate an injury or near miss to find the real root cause.

What they are checking: Whether they look past individual blame to the system causes that prevent the next incident.

Which OSHA and environmental regulations have you been responsible for at a site, and how did you track compliance?

What they are checking: Whether they know the regulatory requirements a manufacturing facility must meet and have a system for it.

How would you handle air permits, waste handling or stormwater requirements at a facility like Madison?

What they are checking: Whether they cover the environmental side of EHS, not only workplace safety.

How do you run safety training so people actually remember and use it?

What they are checking: Whether training changes behavior rather than just checking a box.

What leading indicators would you track to know if a site's safety performance is improving?

What they are checking: Whether they measure prevention and not only injuries after the fact.
