Sample answer
“In my previous role at a renovation company, I frequently worked with gypsum board and cement board. For gypsum board, I used a utility knife to score the surface before using a pry bar for removal, ensuring minimal dust. On one job, we had to strip drywall from a 2000 sq ft area with water damage, and I coordinated the safe disposal of hazardous materials according to local regulations. Safety is always my priority, so I wear appropriate PPE and ensure proper ventilation.”
