When answering this question, emphasize your understanding and adherence to safety protocols, which are crucial in automotive repair to prevent accidents and injuries. Mention specific steps you take, such as wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), following manufacturer guidelines, using proper tools, and ensuring the vehicle is properly secured before starting any work. Provide examples from your experience where your attention to safety prevented potential hazards. For instance, you might say:
"Safety is my top priority when working on vehicles. I always start by wearing the appropriate PPE, such as gloves and safety glasses. I follow the manufacturer's guidelines for each specific repair and use the correct tools for the job. Before beginning any work, I make sure the vehicle is on a stable surface and properly secured with wheel chocks and jack stands. For example, there was a time when I noticed a colleague was about to work under a vehicle that wasn't properly secured. I intervened and ensured the vehicle was safely supported, which prevented a potential accident."
