These videos depict some of the questions that HSS reviewers might ask, as well as the right and wrong ways to answer them. No need to learn these answers by heart. Instead, try to remember the tips for a successful interview.
The video clips are in QuickTime format. This alternate page displays video clips in Flash format.
In these videos, David Lorenzetti of the Indoor Environment Department plays the HSS reviewer and Susan Lauer of the Advanced Energy Technologies Department, an EETD office worker.
Tips: You are responsible for your own safety! Know what is in your JHA. Your supervisor authorizes your work through the JHA, which defines all hazards that you are exposed to and controls that mitigate these hazards e.g., training. JHA for office workers includes ergonomic hazards and requires an ergo evaluation and/or self-assessment of your work station in the office. If you develop any work-related physical discomfort, you should take immediate action to protect your health. Talk to your supervisor, notify Division Safety Coordinator, call Health Services for help, and get assistance with your ergonomic set-up.
Your office does have hazards, although you may not think so. Clearly indicate that you understand what those hazards are - besides ergonomics they may be trip and falling hazards, and basic electrical safety. Don't enter labs randomly if you are not authorized to work in them. You need to be trained for hazards specific to a lab. If you need to enter a lab area regularly, get the appropriate safety training for that area, and if this is a new responsibility, update your JHA. Finally, don't volunteer information that the interviewer has not asked for.
