When answering this question, emphasize your systematic approach to risk assessment and hazard identification. Mention specific methods such as Job Safety Analysis (JSA), Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP), and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Explain how you prioritize risks based on severity and likelihood, and discuss any tools or software you use for tracking and reporting. Provide examples from your past experience where you successfully identified and mitigated risks, ensuring compliance with environmental and safety regulations.
Example: "In my previous role, I utilized Job Safety Analysis (JSA) to break down tasks and identify potential hazards at each step. Additionally, I conducted Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) for new processes to foresee any operational issues. I also used Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to evaluate the impact of potential failures. By prioritizing risks based on their severity and likelihood, I was able to implement effective control measures. For instance, at XYZ Chemical Plant, I identified a potential chemical spill risk and introduced secondary containment measures, which significantly reduced the risk of environmental contamination."
