Because you're working with chemicals and equipment that can hurt you if you don't use them properly and if you're not paying attention to what you're doing. And even though some chemical may be harmless on their own, when they're combined with other compounds - intentionally or not - they become very dangerous. Environmental factors like air flow and temperature may also interact in unpredictable ways with chemicals. And if you're working in a lab with other people around you, there's the additional risk of accidents and the possibility of someone else messing up and endangering everybody else.

In my experience, if you are careful and alert about what you're doing and what's going on around you, and if you have a helpful lab TA or supervisor, all the things that could go wrong usually don't.
