Out of Sight, Out of Sterile

The idea
A sterile field or item that has not been kept in view is considered contaminated.
In practice
Turning your back on the field, walking out of the room, or leaving a field unattended all break this rule.
Where people slip
If nobody can say what touched it, nobody can say it is still sterile.
