LCS Facility Support Services
Proper maintenance is essential to the safety of your laboratory
environment, and protects your investment over the long term
by preventing erosive chemicals from damaging expensive equipment
and furniture. OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1450 requires a Chemicals
Hygiene Plan (CHP) for all laboratory facilities, including
a performance certification of the fume hood system. LCS can
provide this certification for you. LCS offers a complete maintenance
program, including preventative maintenance, for fume hood
exhaust systems; our comprehensive, three-step program will
ensure your fume hood systems operate, and will continue to
operate, at recommended performance levels.
Facility Maintenance Steps 1, 2, 3
Step 1 - Assessment
In Step 1 Assessment, LCS performs a preliminary
inspection to assess the functionality of your fume hood systems
and evaluate what, if any, deficiencies might be interfering
with safe performance. In addition to a Face Velocity Test,
the Step 1 Assessment includes inspection of:
- Exterior Hood
- Superstructure
- Exhaust and Supply Fan
- Sash

- Plumbing
- Ductwork
- Electrical
|
Upon completion of the Step 1 Assessment,
LCS provides a comprehensive written report listing the results
of the assessment and recommendations for repairs, if needed.
Step 2 - Quotations & Repairs
Step 2 includes a complete, prioritized quotation
for any repairs necessary to bring your fume hood systems up
to industry standards, and the completion of repairs according
to your needs and schedule. LCS prioritizes repair recommendations
and quotations to help you keep your lab environment safe while
accommodating budgetary needs and scheduling requirements.
Step 3 - Preventative Maintenance
In order to prevent expensive repairs and
potential safety hazards, LCS recommends a regular preventive

contact you or your designee in advance of each interval visit.
