Why do you believe that workplace safety and standard lab practices are so important in the scientific industry?

Think back to the safety training that you have completed as part of earning your degree, as well as any knowledge of standard laboratory safety that you have obtained through on-the-job experience. Talk about why safety is of such importance in the lab and why it is important to follow lab rules and procedures.

"I know that safety is a priority and that following standard lab practices is very important because the slightest error or act of carelessness can result in the invalidation of hours' worth of testing or even worse, an injury."
