The hazard level can be reduced by:
Working with a reduced height of sash opening.
Using reduced quantities of substances involved.
Lowering reaction rates where acceptable.
5.
When working in the cupboard, ensure that the hinged acrylic front window is in
the closed position, in order to achieve containment at 0.4M/sec and always keep
closed when the fume cupboard is not in use.

rear baffle.

For access to the inside of the fume cupboard for loading apparatus or cleaning,
the hinged lower front acrylic panel, can be fully open and will be held in position
by the two black detent hinges.
NOTE
The hinges will only hold the lower front panel in
the fully open position, when opening make sure
that they click into the fully open position.
