So off for an interview tomorrow with at a Feed Mill, although I have be informed that the interview will be competency based I am trying to familarize myself with hazards in this industry so that I can try and relate previous jobs to this.

My list of hazards

combustible dust, respiratory disorders, slips, trips and falls, suffocation in grain, manual handling, associated transportation hazards, noise hazards - neighbouring environment and working at height.

Does anybody have any thoughts on working in this industry - the hazards and challenges that would be faced?

Any comments welcome. This has been sprung on me without a lot of notice so I don't have a lot of time to prepare at all!

Lots of read and run today lol

No thoughts at all?

I'm preparing my competency based answers and trying to come up with one for problem solving - Personally I feel that I have solved lots of small problems but would like a good example where I will be able to go into enough detail. Any ideas??
