Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling on effect of fume extraction
Publication date: Available online 11 May 2019Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Kar Yen Sam, Siong Hoong Lee, Zhen Hong BanIn anodizing industries, fume hoods are essential at the workplace since long term exposure to the acid fumes released may lead to adverse health effect. The design of fume hood is always referring to the guidelines in ACGIH’s Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice, yet there is no definitive validation regarding the guidelines stated in the manual. A numerical simulation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was conducted to study the effective region of a ...

Use of Lean Six Sigma methods to eliminate fume hood disorder
Publication date: Available online 30 April 2019Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Hugo G. SchmidtFume hoods are common laboratory equipment used to protect researchers from dangerous fumes. However, they are often improperly used as storage cabinets or otherwise allowed to accumulate contents that impair their effectiveness. To address this problem of fume hood disorder, the Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore (Cambridge CARES) implemented a Lean Six Sigma project to eliminate fume hood disorder. It was found that fume hood disorder could be grouped together into several ...

Predicting and preventing heat stress related excessive exposures and injuries: A field-friendly tool for the safety professional
Publication date: Available online 30 April 2019Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Harry J. Elston, Michael J. SchmoldtAbstractWhile safety professionals are always mindful of heat stress when working in hot environments or while wearing chemical protective clothing, predicting working limits in those environments can be elusive. The authors have developed an Excel tool to help safety professionals stay within the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value (TLV) or Action Level for heat stress. The tool is most helpful in daily work planning where heat stres...

Efficacy of existing transient models for spill area forecasting
Publication date: Available online 19 April 2019Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Raja S., Reddy T.L.P., Tauseef S.M., Tasneem Abbasi, S.A. AbbasiAbstractEfficacy of all the existing transient models for forecasting the area attained by accidentally spilled liquid fuels has been sought to be assessed on the basis of experimental data available in prior art. Of the two models for which required inputs are available in the prior art, the model of Huppert (1982) is able to forecast spill area with much greater precision than the model of Raj and Kalelkar (1974). Both the models give better predictions wh...

A storage cabinet design for research chemicals for developing nations
Publication date: Available online 2 April 2019Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Abdullah Hussein KshashThis work describes a novel, in-house built laboratory chemical storage cabinet that is designed for simultaneous control of storage conditions and security. The design includes cabinet ventilation, temperature and humidity controls, smoke detection and a security access panel to prevent unauthorized access. The build is appropriate for areas where there are no current regulations regarding storage cabinets for chemicals. (Source: Journal of Chemical Health and Safety)
