Sample answer
“At a logistics facility in France, I noticed that a conveyor belt was operating without a guard, posing a risk to operators. I immediately reported this to my supervisor and worked with the maintenance team to install safety guards. As a result, we not only improved safety compliance but also reduced minor incidents by 30%. This experience reinforced the importance of always prioritizing safety in our operations.”
