Inspect each fume hood in the laboratory. Test airflow with the tissue paper method or anemometer if available. Tag any hood that fails for service.
A quarterly inspection checklist for laboratory fume hoods covering airflow verification, sash operation and height marking, interior condition and cleanliness, baffle position, alarm function, and annual certification status. Designed for lab safety officers or facilities staff conducting routine safety checks.
Fume hoods are the primary engineering control protecting lab workers from chemical exposure. A hood that looks operational can have compromised airflow due to cluttered interiors, blocked baffles, or exhaust fan problems. This inspection catches performance issues between annual certifications.
