Understanding Chemical Fume Hoods, Exposure Control Devices, and Laboratory HVAC Systems

Date & Time: October 29 and November 5, 2026 | 2:00–4:00 p.m. EST each session

Location: Live via Zoom

Please Note: Registering for Part 1 (October 29) automatically registers you for Part 2 (November 5). You do not need to register separately for the second session.

Session Description: This two-part course explores how chemical fume hoods, exposure control devices, and laboratory HVAC systems protect personnel from airborne hazards. Participants will review applicable ANSI/AIHA, OSHA, ACGIH, and NFPA guidance and learn why ventilation should be based on laboratory hazards and activities—not air changes per hour alone. The course will also cover airflow principles and methods for evaluating hood performance.

Schedule:

Registration Fees: Fee includes both sessions.

Registration TypeFee
Live (Zoom) $225
CSHEMA Academy $200

Learning Outcomes: Participants will be able to:

  • Explain how fume hoods and other devices control airborne hazards.
  • Identify key laboratory ventilation standards and guidance.
  • Describe the limitations of using air changes per hour as the sole design basis.
  • Explain laboratory HVAC and directional airflow principles.
  • Evaluate hood performance through face velocity, containment, and flow visualization testing.

Key Takeaways:

  • Ventilation should be based on laboratory hazards, materials, and activities.
  • Fume hood performance depends on design, airflow, sash position, and work practices.
  • Hood selection must match the intended use and hazards.
  • Routine testing and maintenance help maintain reliable containment.
