EHS (environmental health and safety) specialists enforce rules and regulations to keep employees safe in the workplace. In an interview, employers may ask questions about your communication skills and analytical skills. Prepare for situational questions that offer insight into your instincts during times of stress.
Here are three top EHS specialist interview questions and tips on how to answer them:
How to answer: This question allows you to showcase your ability to communicate effectively across many media. Writing and speaking are both vital skills for this role, as you may be responsible for creating training documents, giving presentations, leading workshops and more. Detail how you discuss high-stakes situations clearly and calmly.
How to answer: A successful answer to this question would prove that you are an effective collaborator and can manage conflict. In some circumstances, management may oppose your ideas on various grounds such as budget or time. Explain how you influence others to prioritise health and safety and lead the team to a plan that protects the company.
How to answer: Motivating others is a crucial leadership skill. Speak about how you identify resistance among personnel, then explain which tactics you use to connect with employees. Consider using an anecdote that demonstrates how you help employees understand the importance of engaging with safety initiatives.

I studied work safety from the formal education of D3 Hyperkes UNS. Then worked at the head office of the largest courier and logistics company in Indonesia. There I was a pioneer with the achievement of developing safety organizations, developing work programs and national budgets, with a concentration on building a Safety Management System, training, improving Industrial Hygiene, Emergency response, and CSMS for tenders to Oil and Gas. Then I developed a career in Oil and Gas on a 2D/3D Seismic project. There they deal more with construction, waste, hygiene, boat and ship safety, forest safety, and handling explosives. Next I made a career in civil aviation safety. The main activities are CSMS, HSE training for pilots, flight attendants, and ground crew, ERP, and office HSE. At Pertamina EP I was the HSSE Coordinator, on EPC and drilling projects. Its activities include guiding and supervising contractor HSE Compliance, teaching BST-LR and Emergency drills, monitoring HSE plan implementation, CSMS assessments, inspections, and assisting incident investigations. I also have experience teaching HSE on campus, from preparing GBPP to teaching HSE in class. Working experience in offshore, precisely in the Natuna Sea as an HSE officer on a pre lay survey project. Its activities include inspection of work facilities, emergency drills, monitoring of safe work, as a first aider, and assisting incident investigations. Less
