Why Lab Safety Goes Beyond Ductless Fume Hoods

Safety resides at the core of every discipline Air Science supports. Safety is found across a variety of fronts, including the safe handling of opioids for law enforcement personnel and postal workers, the increased protection against fire danger within the lab, and the proper storage conditions for noxious chemicals.

Whatever your application, we value your safety.

And we know that just having the proper unit doesn’t always guarantee exact safety. Lab personnel and workers must be aware of other factors that can endanger themselves and their environment in order to achieve optimal protection, such as filter selection and proper protective clothing.  

Therefore, we have provided numerous resources throughout our site, and our partner site www.filtcofilters.com, in order to support continued safety in all your endeavors.
