31. I am a user of biological safety cabinet. I came into my lab and although I left my hood running when I left the lab last night, it isn't running now? What do I do?

Most times a problem with your equipment needs the attention of a qualified Safety Professional who has been trained in biological safety cabinets or your certifier. There are few things, however, a user can try in order to troubleshoot the problem. You can use the information you obtain to relay to your Certifier if you need to call him/her. First, check the blower switch. Is it in the "on" position? If yes, check the plug. Is the hood plugged in? If yes, turn on the light switch. Do the lights come on? If none of this results in your hood blower working, call your building maintenance department. Perhaps there was a circuit breaker within your building that should be reset. If you still have no results, consult your Safety Professional or Certifier. - Updated: July 31, 1999
