Here's a couple more specific recommendations that the volunteer I mentioned earlier gave me, and the specific questions I asked:

The first thing was, read the manual!

Quote:
Safety Award information is in the FIRST Safety Manual available on the usfirst.org website. Lots of good information here. Everything they look for is in there. Look under section called "Safety Awareness and Recognition Program".
As for interview questions:

Quote:
When we interview teams, we start very simply with something like, "Tell me about your safety program" or "What do you do for shop / tool training?" We may also ask what safety equipment you have in the pit.
And for things to avoid:

Quote:
Safety Advisors are generally not looking to take teams out of the running for the awards, but want to educate the teams to improve their safety programs. However, willful disregard or repeated safety violations are really frowned upon (i.e. individuals who repeatedly do not wear their safety glasses in the pit).
Not a ton of new information, but I hope you find it helpful!
