Just asked hubby again, he said he personally wouldn't say that. He'd focus on the fact that there are procedures/regulations/rules to follow in a workplace and so he has always followed those procedures in order to be safe. He said they're trying to catch people out.

He said he was asked a similar question in an interview but it was about his regrets, he answered along those lines.

I wouldn't have thought that but it makes sense considering the industry Hope he gets the job!
