Optimizing Ventilation Systems for Labs PDC Recording (2021)

Optimizing Ventilation Systems for Labs PDC Recording

Earn up to 7 contact hours

Recorded in May 2021, this PDC provides industrial hygienists and EHS personnel with the tools and information necessary for participating in the design of lab ventilation systems, testing and commissioning, optimizing energy performance, and implementing a laboratory ventilation management program.

Laboratories are designed to achieve effective, safe, efficient, and sustainable environments for research and production. EHS personnel are often called upon to establish the design and operating specifications for fume hoods and laboratory ventilation systems. Establishing guidelines, selecting appropriate exposure control devices, and ensuring proper performance requires an understanding of the short- and long-term needs of researchers, hazards, and how to properly employ engineering controls. This process requires review, assessment, selection, and testing of exposure control devices to ensure proper design and operation of the lab ventilation systems.

Gain knowledge and skills to be able to design and operate ventilation systems to reduce risk of exposure in labs and help reduce energy consumption and use the latest ANSI AIHA, ASSE, and ASHRAE standards relevant to lab ventilation systems. Upon completion, students will be able to:

Identify the components of a lab ventilation system and the impact on lab safety and energy efficiency.

Determine the factors that affect performance of lab ventilation systems.

Establish appropriate design and operating specifications.

Evaluate risk for the selection of appropriate exposure control systems.

Develop the elements of a comprehensive LVMP.

Implement the LVMP in accordance with the ANSI/AIHA Z9.5.

Apply test methods and criteria for fume hoods, ECDs and lab ventilation systems.
