Incorporating safe laboratory and demonstration practices into the college chemistry experience from the first day helps create and maintain a true culture of safety.  As the role two-year colleges play in chemistry education is increasingly recognized, so too is their role in fostering that safety culture.  This presentation will discuss the importance of developing a safety culture in the first two years of chemistry and will share available safety resources.   Additionally, the role of partnerships fostered by two-year colleges with academic institutions and industry employers in keeping safety programs current and relevant will be discussed.
