Collective protection equipment (CPE)
Collective protection equipment should always be the first step! E.g. when working with filler particles, it is better to use a (mobile) fume hood instead of using a dust mask. Different CPE are used in our labs:
- Fume cupboard
- Fume hood (mobile and fixed)
- "No touch" housing (e.g. Autosaw)
