Question Details:
What to look for in an answer:
You are looking to understand if there are any potential Health and Safety issues with the interviewee. Make sure this question is asked from a point of non-discrimination and that the intention is purely to access the Health and Safety of the interviewee if they were working in the job.
Red Flags to Watch For:
If the Health and Safety issue that the interviewee brought up is beyond your capabilities to account for, or will obviously put the interviewee at risk if they were working in the role, it is a red flag.
