Overview
Ventilated containment equipment has commonly been delivered and installed as off-the-wall selections considered state-of-the-art by default if not by superior design. However, with advancing technology of ventilated containment systems and with heightened concern over material hazards, environmental protection and energy conservation, equipment efficacy must be assured. Consequently, commissioning has become an essential discipline for the effective construction and operation of laboratory facilities.
In this course the student will learn that as the art of commissioning continues to evolve, changes will result from technological advances, particularly in the area of ventilated enclosure testing. This course source document covers the current state of this industry and outlines many of the details needed to perform this process. The student will also learn that the contemporary laboratory may be a simple installation of one ventilated enclosure or a it may contain multiples of the entire range of containment devices. Several key parties can be identified that should be part of a commissioning team. A commissioning plan that begins in the earliest stages of a project leads to an orderly and effective succession of events.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the Laboratories For The 21st Century: Best Practice Guide – Commissioning Ventilated Containment Systems In The Laboratory, DOE/GO-102008-2653, August 2008.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (10) questions at the end of this course to obtain 1 PDH credit.
