Chapter 4: Theory of Operation and Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
Although the laboratory hood has
been engineered to maintain
optimum operator safety, caution
should always be used while
working in the hood. Prior to
using the hood, check to make sure
that the exhaust blower is
operating and that air is entering
the hood at the proper velocity of
100 fpm.
USE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING IN
THE HOOD AT ALL TIMES.
CLEAN UP SPILLS
IMMEDIATELY.
PERIODICALLY CLEAN HOOD
INTERIOR, INCLUDING
FLUORESCENT LIGHT GLASS
PANEL. REPLACE BURNED
OUT LIGHT BULBS TO
MAINTAIN MAXIMUM
ILLUMINATION.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE WORK
SURFACE WITH APPARATUS
OR WORK MATERIAL. THE
SAFE OPERATION OF THE
LABORATORY HOOD IS BASED
UPON HAVING PROPER
AIRFLOW THROUGH THE
STRUCTURE. DO NOT PLACE
LARGE, BULKY OBJECTS SUCH
AS BLOCK HEATERS,
DIRECTLY ON THE HOOD
WORK SURFACE. INSTEAD,
PLACE THE OBJECT ON A
BLOCK UP 2" TO 3" TO ALLOW
A FLOW OF AIR UNDER THE
OBJECT AND INTO THE LOWER
REAR BAFFLE EXHAUST SLOT
OF THE HOOD. ENSURE
