(ENSURE THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN TO THE MAINS ELECTRICAL SUPPLY)
A Fume Cupboard is only a partial enclosure and cannot provide absolute protection against
inhalation of substances used within. In addition, the degree of protection given to the user
is dependent on other factors, such as the system of work and the nature of the operations
to be performed. For guidance on the risk for particular applications, the purchaser should
refer to both the long and short-term exposure limits for airborne chemicals, which are
published by the Health & Safety Executive. These limits provide guidance on the levels (in
terms of concentration and time) to which exposures to airborne toxic substances should be
controlled.
When working with hazardous substances, always consult Safe Systems of Work, which
should be provided by your employer.
