Fume hood Summary In biological fume hoods the flow of sterile air is typically from the back of the cabinet toward the laboratory worker, and from the top of the fume hood downward across the opening at the front of the hood. A fume hood or fume cupboard is a large piece of scientific equipment common to chemistry laboratories designed to limit a person's exposure to hazardous fumes. Because perchloric acid fumes settle, and form explosive crystals, it is vital that the ductwork is cleaned internally with a series of sprays. www.bookrags.com /Fume_hood   (1445 words)

FUME CUPBOARD PERFORMANCE For older fume cupboards that do no give any indication of low flow or other problems, it is recommended that periodic checks of performance are made and recorded. The School/Department is responsible for ensuring that fume cupboards are used appropriately, that members are trained in their safe use and that problems with fume cupboard performance are promptly reported to the Estate Office. Fume cupboards found to be below the standard appropriate for the type of use are to be taken out of use pending repair. www.nottingham.ac.uk /safety/publications/circulars/fumecupboards.html   (1018 words)

nav.gif For a fume cupboard to perform satisfactorily it must be connected to an appropriate ventilation system which extract fumes efficiently from the fume cupboard and discharges them outside the building in such a manner that they are adequately dispersed and do not re-enter the buildings or otherwise present a potential hazard or nuisance. The air extracted through a fume cupboard is far greater than the normal extract rate of a room or laboratory and to prevent excessive build up of negative pressure within the laboratory which often reduces the performance of the fume cupboard then a balanced make up air system should be introduced. HFH Fume Cupboards Ltd. have a design team with many years experience in designing and specifying fume extraction and make up air systems and would be happy to discuss your requirements. www.labfumecupboards.co.uk /ventilation.html   (198 words)

Health & Safety: University Policy Statement S7/01 In the laboratory, fume cupboards are a significant means of controlling exposure to hazardous substances, and the main type of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) used under the COSHH Regulations. Recirculatory filtration fume cupboards are not generally suitable for use with hazardous materials and should only be used for the control of nuisance odours, for small quantities of solvents etc. The University Safety Office should be consulted whenever their use with hazardous materials is proposed. Generally, heads are responsible for the provision and maintenance of the fume cupboard itself and BESC is responsible for the provision and maintenance of the associated fans and ductwork. www.admin.ox.ac.uk /safety/s701.shtml   (2162 words)

ANU - POLICIES - PROCEDURES - HUMAN RESOURCES - OHS - FUME EXHAUST SYSTEMS   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Fume hood is a device mounted above a work area to receive or capture an emission.  It provides little or no enclosure of the workspace and is therefore unable to attain the containment of a fume cupboard. When maintenance is conducted, a sign shall be placed on the fume exhaust system near the controls (or on the fume cupboard sash) to indicate that the system is under maintenance.  See Appendix D.  Signs shall be removed when not required or the work has finished. At regular intervals and before maintenance operations, the fume cupboard should be thoroughly cleaned to ensure that the fume cupboard is free of risk to users and maintenance staff, and to improve the life and performance of the fume cupboard. info.anu.edu.au /policies/Procedures/Human_Resources/OHS/Fume_Exhaust_Systems.asp   (3550 words)

SEPS - COSHH Appendix 6 Once this hasbeen done, a notice should be affixed to the fume cupboard indicatingits average face velocity at various sash heights together withan indication of some of the substances which can be used thereinto give a general indication to staff of its suitability. Fume cupboards which recirculate air through filtersof active charcoal or molecular sieves are commercially available.Intending purchasers should be aware of a paradox in the designof these devices, namely, arranging adequate air velocity throughthe face of the cabinet allied to sufficient residence of thecontaminant on the filter to allow absorption. For this reasonrecirculating fume cupboards are not generally recommended, andtheir use should only be considered in exceptional rather thanspecific circumstances and in particular where the fume has anuisance rather than toxic value or where the work would normallybe carried out on the open bench. www.gla.ac.uk /services/seps/biosafety/coshhapp6.html   (1124 words)

Specs_downloads3 The fume cupboard shall be fitted with a concealed top by-pass system to control the air velocity at the lower sash opening, the by-pass system should be completely sealed off when the sash is fully raised to give all the available extraction through the sash opening for maximum safety. The fume cupboard lighting shall be by a fluorescent light mounted in a purpose made moulded cover and shall provide illumination at the work surface through a sealed armour plate glass panel recessed in the roof of the chamber to avoid disturbing the airflow within the fume cupboard. The fume scrubber recycle neutralising tank and chemical pump for scrubber shall be fitted in the support cupboard beneath the fume cupboard and be supported on a spillage tray with raised edges to assist in containing any accidental spillage. www.chemfume.com.au /html/body_specs_downloads3.html   (2240 words)

Permit To Work procedures at the University of Newcastle Fume cupboards, by their very nature and use, present particular hazards and risks to those having to maintain or service them. As a general rule the fume cupboard and immediate work area must be completely cleared of all hazardous substances and equipment, and surfaces decontaminated where necessary, so that the Performing Authority may perform the job safely using the workwear and personal protective equipment normally required for the job. This also applies to any other fume cupboard whose performance may be deleteriously affected by the operation of the PTW, in which case the transfer of hazardous substances/processes to another fume cupboard or containment facility may be required. www.ncl.ac.uk /internal/safety/fumecupb.htm   (2323 words)

fume cupboards, fumecupboards and safety cabinets information and links from dale dobson's safety cabinets inc Unlike microbiological safety cabinets fume cupboards do not generally exhaust their air through hepa filtration.
