If you think they don't consider what can go wrong when transporting deadly agents, then please don't ever get a job is risk assessment.

Sure they do, that's why they put them in sealed bottles rather than carry them around in an open flask.

What exact preventative measures do you expect them to use while they're trying to secretly poison someone without getting caught? I assume we can at least agree the hazmat suit is not a realistic option?

I have no idea, but if I were applying Novichok to a door knob unprotected, I'd want to clean myself up asafp. Emphasis on the letter f.

My point is, these guys are not behaving as though they have just applied Novichok to a door knob. Maybe they're just really fucking good at their jobs.

Apart from their casual disposal of the agent in question, of course.

You're not getting it though. If you get some on you, you don't have an hour to wash it off, after which you'll be fine. The plan is to not get any on you.

Those guys investigating the scene are wearing hazmat suits because they don't know where the stuff is exactly. The risk of exposure to them is much greater than to someone spraying it on a door with a bottle from a foot away. Sure, I wouldn't want the spraying job either, but if I did it and wasn't feeling sick afterwards, I wouldn't then assume I needed to go find a decontamination centre somewhere in Salisbury.

Maybe because they're sociopaths, like the kind that become contract killers for an intelligence agency. IOW, they don't fucking care that they poisoned someone.

Also, if they're spies, then they're trained in how not to look suspicious.

Apart from their casual disposal of the agent in question, of course.

You still haven't provided a plausible alternative for what they should have done with it.
