Show Notes

In this episode of the Stay Safe Podcast's Toolbox Talk series, host Liam Scott discusses the critical role of engineering controls in laboratories. Learn about the importance of systems like fume cupboards and local exhaust ventilation (LEV), which protect you by removing hazards from your environment. Discover why these controls are prioritized over personal protective equipment (PPE) under UK law, and understand the necessary maintenance and checks to ensure their effectiveness. The episode emphasizes compliance with safety protocols, proper usage, and the significant role that interlocking systems and respiratory protection equipment (RPE) play in maintaining a safe laboratory environment.
