But that is exactly how important risk mitigation is: we start practicing it and recognising the importance of it before we even have conscious thoughts. It’s an instinct.
As we grow, risk mitigation becomes much more comprehensive and different.

When either of those are impacted in just about any cleanroom, major problems ensue. That is why we want to talk about a few ways to mitigate risks to your data integrity or contamination risks.
