The interviewer wants to know that you understand laboratory rules and the importance of safety while working in a laboratory. 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.

"Throughout my career, I have learned a lot about the importance of laboratory safety and following lab practices. Working with hazardous materials can be a risk to your own life and the lives of those around you if you do not follow proper safety protocols. Not following proper safety guidelines, like disposal of chemicals and wearing personal protective equipment in the lab, could result in a serious injury, a fire, or even death. I also know that not following standard lab procedures can result in the invalidation of testing, which would result in rework and be costly to the company."
