“Setting the Standard” for
Fume Hood Certification
Your fume hood system is a safety device for personal
protection. It requires proper maintenance and operations to protect
the user and other laboratory personnel. For example, a too low or too
high face velocity can create spillage of fumes. LOC has found that
the vast majority of fume hoods and remote blowers need to be fine-tuned.
We have calculated the potential energy-cost savings for the typical
laboratory is thousands of dollars annually.
OSHA recommends that each laboratory develop and implement specific
measures to ensure the proper operations of fume hoods. Proper training
of laboratory technicians can also help ensure compliance and safety.
LOC's service team offers calibration of your fume hood air flow, and
makes any needed adjustments or repairs to your whole fume hood "system".
Your fume hood superstructure is serviced from the base cabinet to the
exhaust stack.
