This guide explains how to make your own soldering fume extraction unit, using a PC fan and some charcoal filter.

You will need access to a laser cutter.

GL327 describes how to make a hood to capture emissions from 3D printers.

This resource is the drawings required to manufacture the components for the hood.

This gives the instructions for making the many of the component parts and assembling the cabinet. It is accompanied by CAD files for use on a laser cutter and 3D printer to produce those components. Some parts have to be purchaased and some can be either 3D  printed or purchased.

This document gives guidance to teachers and technicians that will be supervising a welding or plasma cutting facility.

Guidance on controlling the fumes from these operations can be found in GL326

This is a new document explaining the need for controlling the fumes generated by welding steel.

It gives some solutions to managing the problem of extraction.

This document provides a detailed description of how to clean a blood spill, from a single drop to a more serious spillage.

This customisable document offers information on the hazards associated with chemicals commonly used in D&T departments, and can also be used as a stocklist.
CLEAPSS strongly recommends that any D&T teacher or technician with limited or no experience of  these chemicals should consult with their science colleagues. In many cases it will be safer to have the chemicals prepared, and possibly used, in the science department.

This document is written to offer advice to science departments regarding pregnant, new and breastfeeding mothers in the department. However, the advice is directly related to all practical areas, including D&T and Art and Design.
