💡 This One Mistake Could Compromise Your Fume Hood
👀 You wouldn’t block a fire escape…
So why block the baffles of your fume hood?
🧪 Baffles are the key to airflow—and when they’re covered with equipment, notes, or storage, containment fails.
You can’t see the air, but you can protect yourself from it going the wrong way.
🧼 Keep baffles clear. Stay safe.
