User Training and Testing
With comprehensive trainings and workshops of GD, ensure that you are protected against the hazardous chemicals in the laboratory!
Fume hoods are the first line of defence against hazardous chemical contaminants for occupants in a laboratory. They are designed to capture, contain, dilute and exhaust contaminants at the source. However, hoods are part of a complex system and often don’t work as designed. This is a major health and safety hazard for lab users and the long term health implications are quite severe.

Vanguard Testing is more than a routine AMC. Given our understanding of and experience with Exposure Control Devices and Lab Ventilation Systems, we can thoroughly analyze your existing systems and vav fume hoods to determine if they are working as expected. Based on our assessment, we prepare a comprehensive system report and then provide the service and maintenance solutions that will deliver the most value and help ensure that your systems are functioning.
However, even the best designed system and ECDs won’t work if they are not used properly. With that in mind, we also conduct training workshops for lab personnel, EHS and Maintenance Departments.
