&gt;  by &quot;raising the bar&quot;<p>Don&#x27;t worry. Theranos failed even some of the simplest tests so how is that going to raise the bar at all? Work safety should not be a casual business gesture. It is as if you expect you raise money and you don&#x27;t provide some insurance for your startup hires. No way. Anyone doing laboratory work should be careful with regulations. Wearing goggles and no smoking in the lab should be really basic. I don&#x27;t expect anyone following the whole manual, but common sense yes. Simple tests, yes. Standard procedures should still be practiced.
