For the analyses of interviews, Collective Subject Discourse was utilized. Results: as for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) usage, 24% used gloves, followed by white coat and mask, with 19% and 18% each, respectively. Referring to moments of Hand Hygiene (HH) during the laboratory practices, 32% performed the hygiene before and 26% after the practice. It is observed that the scholars’ knowledge about biosafety is broad but limited to PPE usage.
