51 safety inspector interview questions shared by candidates
What are your biggest strengths and weaknesses?
Video and text scenarios with four action statements, each of which you had to assign either counterproductive, ineffective, a good action or effective.
Ten questions were asked and they were basically all the same things that are asked as a part of the KSA's during the application process so if you did a good job on the KSA's you should have no problem. The questions were also written out for me so I could read them while they were being asked by the panel members. I liked the way the interview went and was relaxed through the whole process. It helped to know the KSA's along with relevant applications.
