Tell me about a time you saw an unsafe act on the floor. What did you do in the moment and afterward?

Weekend shifts often run lean on management. How do you make decisions when you cannot reach anyone above you?

About the work
How do you measure productivity for a picker or loader, and what do you do when someone is below standard?
What they are checking: Whether they understand productivity measures and coach fairly instead of just pushing harder.
How do you train a new associate so they are safe and productive quickly without cutting corners?
What they are checking: Whether they have a structured approach to training rather than leaving new people to learn by watching.
