Continuing Education: Live attendance awards 0.1 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
This session explores comprehensive strategies for preventing workplace violence on campus, including threat assessment, emergency response planning, and fostering a culture of safety. Learn practical approaches to protect faculty, staff, and students in higher education settings.
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:
- October 29: Event details & registration
- November 5: Event details (Auto-registered upon completion of Oct 29 registration)
- 2:00–4:00 p.m. EST each session
- Live via Zoom
Registration Fees: Fee includes both sessions.
| Registration Type | Fee |
|---|---|
| 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.
