Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past

What they are checking: Whether training changes behavior instead of just getting signatures.
How do you build trust with operators so they report hazards to you?
What they are checking: Whether people see them as a resource rather than a cop, which drives near-miss reporting.
What would you do
A supervisor asks you to hold off reporting a near miss until after the month closes. What do you do?
What they are checking: Integrity about reporting when there is pressure to keep numbers looking good.
You cover more than one facility. How do you stay on top of both?

What they are checking: Proactive safety thinking including guarding, lockout/tagout and ergonomics.
What environmental compliance tasks have you handled, like permits or waste?
