Thanks Bob!
We luckily, also found this out before our remodel. Our faculty thought our previous hoods alarmed for low velocity when in actuality there were only high
flow alarms. However, I was not aware that you could get videos and such. I will keep that in mind for the future.

Hi Monique!
If university departments have a
policy on fume hood velocity alarms, most fume hood companies have instructional videos, PowerPoints, or manuals, into which these policies can be integrated before new hoods and accompanying operating literature are delivered.
In the digital age, this requirement is not difficult for manufacturers to meet.
However, when fume hoods are delivered to a large project based on general specifications that do not include a requirement to provide specified safety and operation procedures,
confusion by end users to alarm situations becomes inevitable.

Alarming when opened at the incorrect sash height or somehow not being used properly is to be left in alarm until they correct the situation. Any fume hood
not functioning properly, including alarms, are tagged out of service until the issue is resolved.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Policy for Alarming Fume Hood
Hi All,
I'm wondering if anyone has a campus policy on safe fume hood use that could be shared. Specifically I am looking for procedures to follow when a fume hood (or multiple hoods) alarms.
Best,
Penny
