<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The best approach we came up with was to interlock the lights in the hood. It wouldn’t really inhibit the users, but would be very noticeable if someone was working
in a hood with the lights off. We didn’t really think that it would have a safety impact, but that was a concern – reading bottle labels, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

are interlocking computer monitors, keyboards or computer mice with good results. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">My team and I have discussed how to best interlock our numerous fume hoods but were unable to settle on any one approach. For safety reasons
we certainly do not want to make the hoods entirely unavailable when not enabled by Badger; ie., we want to encourage their use when lab users handle chemicals. However we do believe it would be beneficial to physically interlock them in some fashion to at
least make them somewhat less appealing to use unless they are first enabled. I’ve searched past threads on this fantastic network and while I came across some great related discussions I was unable to find anything which dealt specifically with hood interlocks. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

what service or feature you may have tapped into on a typical hood setup that might include some combination of spin-coaters, hot plates, heated/recirculating chemical baths, N2 guns, DI guns etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
