Folks, Does anybody have an idea for such a vacuum cleaner described below?: thanks, Eric Clark, MS, CCHO, CHMM Safety Officer Los Angeles County Public Health Laboratory We are considering the acquisition of a standard-sized (or compact) upright or canister-format vacuum (I. e. dust cleaner for cleaning dry dust, etc). This pertains to the need for internal housekeeping at hard-to-reach lab bench areas as well as deep inside large sensitive electronic equipment. Are there any recommendations about the type of vacuum that may be used in a chemical or microbiological lab, and are there any particular safety regulations which need to be addressed in such a purchase. (I. e. does such a unit have to contain a built-in HEPA filter component?). Thanks, Alon Volner, Ph.D. Chief Chemist Los Angeles County Public Health Laboratory Chemical Terrorism Laboratory Coordinator
