Benchtop Fume Hood

Once all the fume hoods have been repaired and re-calibrated, we intend to provide the staff with additional training which outlines how the units should be used in order to promote the safe and proper operation of the hood.  Furthermore, a preventative maintenance and re-calibration schedule will be established for each unit.  As part of this routine, each hood will be tested and re-calibrated at least once annually by a trained professional.  All hoods found to be malfunctioning or out of calibration will be immediately removed from service until the unit has been repaired. 

During this evaluation, we noted that the existing chemical fume hoods were not routinely used for their intended purpose but were instead used for the storage of equipment or chemicals.  In addition, almost all activities involving the use of volatile materials or resulting in the generation of fumes, vapors or odors were conducted at bench top without the aid of additional mechanical ventilation.  As a result, these activities may have adversely impacted the indoor air quality in the effected areas.
