The use of control methods should be brought into daily use to prevent yourself from the dangers of the
hazards at workplace.
LINDALE, U.K. -- Many individuals are exposed to hazardous chemicals and dangerous substances at their
workplace on a daily basis. Diseases like occupational asthma are increasing due to the prolonged exposure
of such dangerous chemicals, and that is the reason why the use of fume cupboards is becoming more and
more essential.
These forms of hazards are more probable in laboratories that conduct experiments using many chemicals,
or ones that make use of apparatuses like the heating mantles and the magnetic hot plate.
The danger chemicals can be classified as under:
Chemicals
Products that include chemicals
Fumes
Dusts
Vapours
Hot vapours
Mists
Nanotechnology
Gases
And Microbiological agents or germs.
These Substances can be toxic, dangerous or harmful to the health of the users, irritant, flammable,
explosives or corrosives. They can cause harm to the individuals by inhalation, adsorption, swallowing or
contact with eyes. The most common symptoms of encountering a dangerous product include lung damage,
running nose and eyes, sore throat, nose bleeds, dermatitis and acne.
Many exposures to fumes can lead to diseases like asthmatic attacks and even cancers hence having the
correct form of fumes extraction device is very important. Control equipments are available in a variety of
different types like glove boxes, fume extraction systems, spray booths and refuges. It should be kept in
mind that all these equipments when bought should be bought along with a user’s manual and they should
be well checked for maintenance and parts repairs etc.
It is very useful if one has a fume cupboard installed in the workplace. Fumes that contain particles need
to be filtered properly before they are extracted into the atmosphere. A highly professional filtration system
usually consists of a brushless fan or a pump unit and a multi stage filter which includes a HEPA filter for
removing bigger particles.
Some low cost systems in the market claim to be very efficient but they are not. They offer low grade
carbon filters that do not sustain enough pressure to pull through deep carbon filters. Never install such
systems which include the normal carbon filters.
Anybody who is responsible for the installation, fitting and maintenance of these equipments should be
