Fume cupboards are used to handle chemicals and other substances safely in laboratories, but the materials involved can make them a localised fire risk. Protecting fume cupboards helps safeguard people, valuable work and the wider laboratory. MEP Fire provides fire suppression, detection and specialist advice for fume cupboards.
Because fume cupboards are used with chemicals and other potentially hazardous substances, they can present a concentrated fire risk within a laboratory. A fire here can threaten researchers, sensitive work and the surrounding facility. As laboratory environments are controlled and sensitive, protection has to be considered around how the cupboard is used.
MEP Fire helps protect fume cupboards with detection and suppression suited to the laboratory environment, following an assessment of the specific risk. We provide specialist advice on the most appropriate approach and support the protection over time, helping keep people, work and the wider facility safe.
