Laboratories are the sites of many potential
hazards. The laboratory fume hood provides the primary means of protection
against inhalation of hazardous chemicals. Studies have shown, however,
that at least half the illnesses related to fume hoods were due to
improper use of the hood rather than the design of the hood.
The fume hood is nothing more than a piece of
safety equipment in the laboratory. Yet few people are trained in the
correct and proper use of this important piece of equipment. The thrust of
this training is to provide important knowledge how different types of
fume hoods work, analyze special design considerations that play a part in
protecting the user and to provide proper use guidelines.
The types of fume hoods that are covered
include:
- Conventional fume hoods
- By-pass fume hoods
- Auxiliary air fume hoods
- Special hoods (perchloric acid, walk-in hoods, and glove boxes)
Proper design of the hood minimizes air
turbulence. Three design considerations are discussed so that proper use
may be made of them.
Just as important as the design features are the
practices used for the operation of the hood. Twelve specific use
guidelines are given and discussed so that the hood may protect the user
in its most optimal method.
This program demonstrates each of its points
through photographs and handouts. Each of the guidelines is available in a
format that can be attached to the hood or wall next to the hood as a
constant reminder on how best to use the fume hood.
Fume hoods perform so well in protecting the
user from harmful chemical vapors that they are frequently taken for
granted. However, they can only perform in the manner in which they were
intended if they are used correctly.
