Biogen Idec Contractor Safety - Cambridge from Matt Ferguson on Vimeo.

BIOGEN IDEC is not a building company! It is a pharmaceutical company
but their installations require state-of-the-art equipment and their safety regulations is very demanding.
Listen to the first three minutes of the video and say
1) What they transform discovery into?
2) What do they say about their products?
3) What do they say about their employees?
4) What are they proud of?
5) What do they strive for as far as their workplace is concerned?
6)Where should you wear your badge?
7) What should you do with it?
8) Where should materials be brought in?
9) Who must provide you with personal protective training and equipment?
10) What is the equipment composed of?
11) What is forbidden?
12) What is GMP ?
If you manage to answer those questions about the first three minutes, why don't you prepare other questions for your classmates with the remaining 11 minutes of the video?!
