What's Wrong Here?

This image depicts a phlebotomist transferring serum from the pilot tube to a transport tube without using face protection. Whenever an exposure can be reasonably anticipated---as is the case when stoppers are removed and the sample manipulated---face protection must be used. Full goggles or safety glasses will suffice. Alternatively, an acrylic shield can be positioned between the sample and the face.
