I'd say they're looking for x-ray vision, ability to flame-on etc.

How about IT skills? Languages? Training in what particular operatives might do for their day job?

Take a look at this thread from the past month. It discusses how to answer the weakness questions.

I think the specialist skill question is not looking for routine safety stuff but something that makes you unique.

I would answer - I am a Chemist with an analytical mind that I apply to all Safety situations, or my skills gained in customer service whilst managing a sweet shop assist me when interacting with people of all functional levels

Or something like that :) -

The only people who wll really know what is meant will be those that asked the question - so ask them for clarity
