Photo Essay
Working at a Pharmaceutical company has its rewards. Whether it be staring upon gigantic machinery, small process machinery, test tubes, experiments, or maybe even just meeting some great people.
Here is a closer up picture of the gigantic cooling machinery used for the GMP plant. It looks large in this picture, but in person it is simply gigantic.
One of several chemical fume hoods through out all of Arena's eight buildings. This is where the entire process starts. It then eventually gets to the GMP level later on down the road.
I'm holding a pipette that someone used for a chemical substance. I have no idea whether that substance is hazardous to me or not, thus why I put on a glove to hold it. Seems like a waste of a glove, but its is crucial, and necessary for my safety and the safety of others. I have no idea what became of the substance used.
The basics are the most important for safety. Simply safety features like safety showers and eye wash stations are completely necessary, for safety and for regulations reasons. Without them, people might become blind, or suffer horrible skin damage; Arena would also face many fines for going against regulations.
