Fume Cupboards are an essential part of any laboratory. Any process which involves work with dangerous gasses, particles or chemicals must be performed in a Fume Cupboard to protect the operator. Fume Cupboards provide a safe working environment, ensuring maximum efficiency whilst providing a safe, noise tolerant environment for the operator as they work.
For your safety and the safety of laboratory personnel, it is important that a full safety check and preventative maintenance is carried out to fume cupboards as often as deemed necessary.
Regular checks, servicing and calibration is recommended for Fume Cupboards to ensure continued operator and laboratory safety. Failure to do so increases the risk of accidental injuries and equipment failures. Well maintained Fume Cupboards will work more efficiently and the lifespan of the unit will be extended.
Existing procedures that consist mainly of Fume Cupboard velocity checks should not be considered as preventative maintenance. We strongly recommend that a full service is carried out.
