The interviewer is asking this question to determine the level of laboratory safety training you have had in the past and to be sure that you have knowledge of standard laboratory practices. Talk about why you feel lab safety and following standard lab practices and procedures are important. It is helpful to provide examples while answering this question.

"Safety in the lab is so important because it is so easy to make one error and end up injured or hurting someone else. Working with chemicals can be dangerous so it is important to know proper disposal, what to do if you spill something or do end up injured and it is important to know how to properly dispose of a chemical. Not following lab procedures can also cause testing to be invalidated which would mean someone else would have to complete the task again."
