At about 2:58, the worker uses the eyewash while her gloved right hand is held up to the side of her face, presumably to divert the water from splashing away from the sink. Doing this, however, may wash any chemical that is on the glove into the eyes or elsewhere on the face. Just let the water go where it will and clean up after.

Very nice Vedio. So BSL 1 or 2 are based on self-regulation, right? Do we need to have some inspection to get an approval to be a BSL 1 or 2 lab?

Did anyone else watch, thinking this was related to sign language…? 😂

[@weldmaster80]

Idk man, L1 and L2... Sounds like a lot of BS. 😊
