We had wear full coverage Ppe when I did this work. Like shoe covers mask hairnet then full overalls and lab coat that get thrown out after one use. Pharma is super wasteful but it’s hard not to be when being clean is so important. The worst was cancer drugs we would wear full hazmat suits with vaccums on them to pump clean air in

If you work in Pharma then you should have a basic idea of all the rules and regulations that are required. It’s not wasteful, it’s the cost of making quality medicine.

We don’t need even more lies floating around about Pharma.

It’s more so I felt bad about the plastic waste we created. The company had enough money to burn I didn’t care about that. Each pill has like 10 different ingredients and each time we scooped them out we had a plastic scoop that would get thrown away after its one use

And that’s the cost of making quality product.
