Reaching Over the Field
Captions available
The idea
Nobody reaches over a sterile field, because arms and clothing above it can shed contamination onto it.
In practice
Solutions are poured from the side of the field, and items are opened and presented without passing unsterile hands over sterile surfaces.
Where people slip
Reaching over a field is a break even if nothing visibly falls.
