Cal OSHA Fumehood
Requirements and What
Can Be Done About Them
Virtual Webinar
Join ISPE’s upcoming webinar! Cal OSHA requires that fumehood face velocity be maintained at 100 feet per minute. While it’s not necessarily true that 100 FPM is any safer than a lower face velocity, it’s also not necessarily true that a lower face velocity saves you energy. This session looks at how we specify and operate fumehoods in order to reduce our energy consumption while still maintaining safety, is it worth seeking a variance for a lower face velocity, and should we be looking to lobby for changing this regulation.
