Info

• Using fume hoods to evaporate hazardous waste is illegal. • For work involving particularly hazardous substances or chemicals that can form toxic vapors, fumes, or dusts, the hood or equipment within the hood may have to be fitted with condensers, traps, or scrubbers in order to prevent the vapors, fumes, and dusts from being released into the environment. • When pouring flammable liquids, always make sure both containers are electrically interconnected to each other by bonding and grounding in order to prevent the generation of static electricity, which can cause the flammable liquid to ignite. • As with any work involving chemicals, always practice good housekeeping and clean up all chemical spills immediately. Be sure to wash both the working surface and hood sash frequently and always maintain a clean and dry work surface that is free of clutter. • Always report any malfunctioning fume hood to Facilities Management immediately by requesting a ticket to have the unit repaired. If the fume hood is not working properly, let other people in the lab know by hanging up a “Do Not Use” sign on the hood. 9.1.1 Perchloric Acid Use Be aware that use of heated perchloric acid requires a special perchloric acid fume hood with a wash down function. DO NOT use heated perchloric acid in a regular fume hood. If heated perchloric acid is used in a regular fume hood (without a wash down function), shock sensitive metallic perchlorate crystals can form inside the duct work, and could result in causing an explosion during maintenance work on the ventilation system. If you suspect your fume hood has perchlorate contamination or would like more information on perchloric acid fume hoods, contact your EHS Office. 9.1.2 Fume Hood Inspection and Testing Program Your EHS Office coordinates annual testing and inspection of fume hoods on campus. After each inspection, an inspection sticker is affixed to the fume hood. If your fume hood does not have an inspection sticker or if the existing inspection sticker on your fume hood indicates a year or more has passed since the hood was last inspected, please contact your EHSO for air flow measurements or other questions. The fume hood inspection program consists of an initial comprehensive inspection followed by annual standardized inspections for all fume hoods on campus. This initial inspection will provide baseline information including, but not limited to, hood usage, type of hood, room and building information, as well as average face velocity measurements. Follow-up inspections for proper use and face velocity (airflow) measurements will be performed on an annual basis or upon request by laboratory personnel. Upon completion of each inspection, hoods will be labeled with an inspection sticker indicating face velocity, date 59
inspected, and initials of the inspector. Hoods will be labeled with arrow stickers. The arrows represent the sash position at which the hood was tested for optimum working height. All inspection information will be recorded and kept on file. Contact your EHSO for more information. Fume hood testing and inspection consists of the following: • The face velocity will be tested for compliance with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and American Industrial <strong>Hygiene</strong> Association (AIHA) standard Z9.5- 2003. • A visual inspection using the dry ice technique from the ANSI/American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standard 110-1995, will be performed in conjunction with face velocity measurements. • A report will be sent to Facilities Management documenting the testing and indicating any needed repairs. • If your fume hood was too full to test, you will be contacted by EHS for further information before your fume hood can be tested. Hoods will be classified as acceptable or unacceptable based on the average face velocity measurement and the result of the dry ice test. If a hood is found to be unacceptable, a warning sign indicating that the hood did not pass inspection and does not provide optimum protection will be attached in a conspicuous location. The warning sign will include instructions on the proper procedures to have the hood repaired or maintenance service performed. Under no circumstances should laboratory personnel continue to use a fume hood that has not passed the EHS inspection and has a warning sign attached, even if the fume hood appears to have airflow. Laboratory personnel must make arrangements with other laboratories with functioning fume hoods if their work requires the use of a fume hood. The EHS Office will coordinate fume hood repairs with Buildings and Grounds and campus service shops to ensure a timely and accurate repair process. 9.1.3 Installation of New Fume Hoods Installation of a new fume hood requires careful planning and knowledge of the existing building ventilation systems and capabilities. Improperly installed fume hoods or other capture devices can seriously disrupt the existing ventilation system and have a negative impact in the immediate room, other fume hoods, and the ventilation system throughout the building. All fume hoods and other capture devices must be installed in consultation with Facilities Services, the EHS Office, and the appropriate campus service shops. All new installations of fume hoods must comply with FDNY regulations and be approved by the EHS Office. 60
