Always close the sash when not working with the fume hood.<\/li>\n<li>Check the airflow meter if there is a sufficient airflow through. Make sure nothing is blocking the airflow through the baffles or through the baffle exhaust slots.<\/li>\n<li>Proper sash work height is 46 cm.<\/li>\n<li>Work at least 25 cm inside hood.<\/li>\n<li>Do not block air slot at the rear of hood.<\/li>\n<li>Too many objects in the hood may disrupt air flow.<\/li>\n<li>Minimize foot traffic around fume hood.<\/li>\n<li>Have proper safety glass and wear safety gloves.<\/li>\n<li>Always wear safety clothes such as lab coats.<\/li>\n<li>Follow safe practice rules and protocols for your facility.
