SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
The Australian Standard AS/NZS 2243.8 requires that fume cupboards must have a major service every 12 months, and recommends a minor service every six months. WorkCover inspectors use the Australian Standard in assessing whether a fume cupboard complies with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (2004) and associated Regulations.
When Safety SMART tests or services your fume cupboards, we will provide you with a detailed NATA test report for WorkCover and other insurance records. A NATA sticker will also be placed on each fume cupboard, outlining the test date, report number and results for easy verification by all users. If you wish, we can provide you with an upgrade plan for your company or school’s risk assessment program.
We can offer major or minor services to your fume cupboards, which includes a test report, or testing only. An outline of what we do during servicing appears over the page. We can also offer quotes on repairs. If you have any queries about servicing or wish to receive a quote, please contact Safety SMART on (03) 8720 9013.
