Build confidence for critical moments with Laboratory Safety: Exposure Prevention and Response training on discuss the reason of laboratory fume hoods in chemical settings.
The Laboratory Safety: Exposure Prevention and Response program builds practical awareness and supports consistent workplace decisions. Key outcomes include the ability to describe discuss the reason of laboratory fume hoods in chemical settings, describe the correct use of fume hoods and response to simulated emergencies, and describe discuss PPE and its value in conjunction with fume hoods. The material also helps learners describe exposure control and its use in medical and industrial settings. Practical examples connect the subject to routine tasks, expected procedures, and decisions employees may need to make on the job. Learners finish with a clearer understanding of what to look for, how to respond, and when to raise a concern or seek additional guidance.
Lab exposure prevention training is for chemists, lab technicians, researchers and students who work with volatile or toxic chemicals in fume hoods. Lab managers responsible for hood performance need it too, as do workers in medical and industrial labs that rely on exposure controls. The 14-minute video is in English, with Spanish and French closed captions.
Laboratory fume hoods are addressed by the OSHA Laboratory Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1450. Under that standard, the Chemical Hygiene Plan must ensure fume hoods and other protective equipment function properly. ANSI Z9.5 sets detailed requirements for laboratory ventilation, including fume hood design, testing and operation.
Use a chemical fume hood correctly by checking the airflow monitor before starting and working well inside the hood. Keep the sash as low as practical and your head outside the opening. Avoid cluttering the hood or blocking its baffles. Close the sash fully when the hood is not in use.
If a fume hood stops working or its airflow alarm sounds, stop work, close containers and lower the sash. Leave the area if vapors may be escaping. Alert others and your supervisor, and post the hood as out of service. Do not resume work until the hood is repaired and its airflow is verified.
Yes, PPE is still needed when working in a fume hood. The hood controls airborne vapors but does not protect against splashes, spills or skin contact. Wear safety goggles, a lab coat and chemical-resistant gloves suited to the materials. The Safety Data Sheet for each chemical lists recommended protection.
