Accidents cost a lot of money. Not only in damage to the lab, claims for injury, lost time, lost research and loss of use of the building, but also in the loss of the institution's reputation and unwanted publicity.If you have old fume hoods, sometimes the only answer is to purchase new fume hoods. Often times, old fume hoods can be upgraded with low-cost improvements to solve their problems. Many times, the fume hoods are fine and the ventilation system is causing the failure. We know how all the parts work together to achieve safety.Fume hood users, whether first year students or laboratory professionals, have the opportunity to improve their work practices and increase fume hood safety. ASHRAE 110 testing has found that about 25% of the hoods that fail the containment testing, in an As Used (AU) test, was the result of the user's work practices. A recent survey of fume hood safety showed 25% of users have made a doctor's visit after a fire, spill or other accident in or around a hood.We can help make your lab safer one fume hood at a time. We also offer a full range of consulting services related to fume hoods and laboratory ventilation.
