Description:MARCOM's "Laboratory Hoods"
Video Training Program emphasizes how to properly use laboratory hoods
and how to test them to ensure correct functioning... as well as discusses
how hoods can protect an experiment, the facility, and most importantly,
the employee. Many of the materials used in laboratories give off fumes,
mists, vapors, particulates or aerosols which are hazardous. To minimize
exposure to these materials, special precautions need to be taken. This
often means within a "hood".
Areas covered in the program include why laboratory hoods
are needed, protections afforded by hoods, how hoods function mechanically,
proper use of laboratory hoods, testing and maintenance, and more. The
Video Program comes with a comprehensive Leader's Guide, reproducible
Scheduling & Attendance Form, Employee Quiz, Training Certificate
and Training Log. This Video Training Program is one of 12 in the
Elements of Safety Laboratory Safety Training Series.
