I have about 25 interview answers prepared and my memory is pretty bad so I have started off by learning off brief answers. Would answers as short as these make it unlikely that I pass an interview or would I just be placed in a more stressful position where more follow up questions would be asked of me Q. 1 How would you conduct a safety audit for our company ? " I would brainstorm an audit plan to check based on previous audits which areas need the most inspecting and afterwards see in the present audit, if the right corrective actions have taken place. I would make sure to include all relevant elements such as premise integrity, individual staff compliance and operational compliance as a whole". Q. 2 Can you describe the benefits of having a job safety analysis procedure ? " It minimizes the risk for injury in any given role. It also systematically examines each step of a job to uncover all hazards". Q. 3 How do you handle resistance from employees regarding safety measures ? " Building trust is crucial. I initiate open communication to understand concerns. I would also try to involve experience employees in the decision making process where possible to gain trust" Q. 4 What would you do to improve the safety culture in our business ? "If I see an area that needs great improvement or I think that staff are not adhering to what we lay out, ill intervene and emplace new measures if given approval".

I was taught to prepare for interviews using the STAR technique.
This entails thinking of an example of when you did something relevant.
Then in about a sentence each, you outline:
What the situation was
What your task in that situation was
What approach you took to your task
The results you got from it
Of course it's a very good idea to prepare such answers in advance, but this structure is something that can also be applied on the fly to an unexpected question in an interview to quickly develop an unrehearsed answer.
Interviewers (at least the more clued-up ones) quite often do expect you to give your answers in a STAR format and will quite often point you in this direction by starting questions with "Tell me about a time when you ..."
And they tend to prefer specific examples over generalities.
In the event that you haven't got such an example, the backup plan is to start with "Well I haven't been in that situation yet, but if I was, I would ... "
