How does the “typical” student see safety incorporated into the laboratory?  This is, of course, highly dependent on their perspective.  Are they a true college freshman just entering a general chemistry or biology laboratory or are they a returning student?  Additionally, which type of laboratory setting, chemistry, physics, or biology, will also have an impact on their perception.  Finally, there is one aspect that has been neglected in most of the discussions around building a safety culture, the student’s work product.  Has any aspect of safety been included or discussed in the laboratory report or discussion?
