Inspect each fume hood in the laboratory. Test airflow with a vane anemometer or tissue paper method. Tag any hood that fails for service.
A quarterly inspection checklist for laboratory fume hoods aligned with ANSI/AIHA Z9.5 and the OSHA Laboratory Standard (29 CFR 1910.1450). Covers airflow verification in fpm, sash operation and height marking, interior condition, baffle position, alarm function, and annual certification status.
Fume hoods are the primary engineering control protecting lab workers from chemical exposure. A hood that looks operational can have compromised airflow. This inspection catches performance issues between annual certifications and provides the documentation your Chemical Hygiene Plan requires.
