Working in the ST1 safety weighing
enclosure
The aim of using an ST1 safety weighing enclosure is to virtually eliminate the risk of
exposure to laboratory staff. But it is not the ST1 safety weighing enclosure alone that
provides this protection. Only the combination of ST1 safety weighing enclosure, personal
protective equipment, thorough training and the additional protective measures
recommended by a1-envirosciences ensures optimal protection against contamination.
Only the combination of ST1 safety weighing enclosure, personal protective
equipment, thorough training and the additional protective measures
recommended by a1-envirosciences ensures optimal protection against
contamination.
Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn when
operating the ST1 safety weighing enclosure. This includes safety goggles,
protective gowns, protective gloves and perhaps protective sleeves.
To ensure optimum personal protection, a1-envirosciences recommends
wearing double protective gloves and sleeves in addition to routine
protective measures.
Ensure a safe environment during operation as well:
As little draught as possible in the vicinity of the ST1 safety weighing enclosure
As little through traffic (windows or doors) as possible in the vicinity of the ST1 safety
weighing enclosure
Good lighting conditions
Adjustable workstation height that ensures comfortable work
Legroom for seated workstations
