That it costs too much to comply with all the personnel training, hazard assessments, workplace surveillance, medical evaluations, record keeping, etc. But have you ever really stopped to consider the full cost of a workplace mishap?

Usually the contamination comes from the water in a bath or from cross-contamination, which is something—the bench, a glove, a vessel—that was contaminated and touched the sample before it was placed in the bath.
