Subject: Roof top exhaust fan maintenance Policy
In general, maintenance staff working on rooftop fume ho
od
exhaust equipment have indicated their concerns about being on a roof, and
possibly being exposed to whatever is being vented.
In a more specific laboratory situation, involving MOCVD
(metal organic chemical vapor deposition), we have a lock-out tag-out polic
y,
due to the severity of the toxic gases involved.
Questions:
- Does anyone else have MOCVD labs, and to what exten
t
are controls in place for protection of workers on roof tops?
- Does anyone else employ a LOTO
policy?
- Are roof tops key-accessible only?
Thanks for the feedback.
