Answer: Safety Officer Interview Question

During my time as a safety officer, I encountered a situation where I identified a safety hazard in the workplace. There was a loose handrail on a staircase that presented a risk of tripping and falling for employees using the stairs.

Upon identifying the hazard, I immediately took action by cordoning off the area and putting up warning signs to alert others of the potential danger. I then reported the issue to the maintenance department to have the handrail repaired as soon as possible.

Additionally, I conducted a thorough inspection of the entire workplace to ensure there were no other similar safety hazards present. I also implemented regular checks and maintenance schedules for all safety equipment and facilities to prevent future incidents.

By promptly addressing the safety hazard and implementing preventive measures, we were able to maintain a safe working environment for all employees and reduce the risk of accidents in the workplace.
