Fume Hood Maintenance List

Environmental Health & Safety checks airflow performance of all campus fume hoods annually. If a fume hood needs adjustment, EHS submits a work request to FM Work Control Center (WCC). Maintenance should contact EHS after adjustments or repairs are completed. EHS then rechecks airflow performance. Most hoods are successfully adjusted after one attempt. Occasionally, further maintenance is needed. Once notified, EHS rechecks hood performance after additional maintenance is completed.

The list below shows only those fume hoods that required adjustments. The table will be updated as information becomes available. Repaired hoods will remain on the list for approximately one month after the final retest is completed.
