SAMPLE TRAIN DRIVER MANAGERS INTERVIEW QUESTION AND ANSWER
Q. Can you give an example when you have followed safety procedures to complete a task?
ANSWER:
Yes, I can. I currently work as a gas engineer for a well-known domestic energy supply company. I was tasked with attending a house that had reported a leaky boiler. When I arrived, the homeowners were foolishly using the boiler still, so I quickly followed my safety training and made the boiler safe. I then asked them to leave the house whilst I carried out a list of safety-critical checks to ascertain the exact cause of the problem. Due to the smell of gas in the property, I safely disabled the electricity supply at the mains in the garage to reduce the risk of spark or ignition. I then followed my safety training guidelines step-by-step until I identified the fault. Due to the complexity of the fault, I needed to order a new part, which would take a few days to arrive. I condemned and sealed off the boiler and provided safety instructions to the family. I then put them in touch with our family liaison department who further advised them of the safety precautions they needed to follow. In this type of situation, I fully understand the importance of following safety rules and procedures and I can be relied upon up to do operate effectively at all times. Being safety- conscious is second nature to me and fully appreciate how important it is as part of the train driver role.
