Portable Air Filters

SAFE Labs employs HEPA portable air filters with adjustable hood arms and powerful motors to ensure a clean, healthy environment by efficiently capturing dust and fine particulates during artifact examinations, safeguarding the health of employees and visitors while maintaining scientific integrity.
Portable Air Filters

SAFE Labs places a high priority on creating and sustaining a healthy working environment for all its employees and visitors, recognizing the potential hazards associated with the examination of various artifacts, especially those retrieved from fire scenes. The examination process can often lead to the release or production of dust and fine particulates, which pose health risks if inhaled or exposed to over time. To effectively mitigate these risks and ensure a clean air environment within the laboratory, the use of high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) portable air filters is an essential component of safety and health protocols at SAFE Labs.


Beyond health considerations, maintaining a particulate-free environment is also critical for the scientific integrity of the examinations and analyses conducted within the lab. Contaminants can potentially interfere with the accuracy of test results, making the clean air provided by the HEPA filters essential for ensuring that findings and conclusions drawn from the laboratory work are reliable and uncontaminated by external particulate matter.

High-Efficiency Filtration: HEPA filters have the ability to trap 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns in diameter or larger, including dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and any airborne particles that might result from the examination of artifacts.

Adjustable Hood Arms: Adjustable hood arms on these air filters allow targeted filtration directly at the source of particulate release, helping ensure that dust and particulates are captured efficiently before they can disperse into the lab environment and providing an additional layer of protection against contamination.

Powerful Air Circulation: Each of the portable air filters is powered by a 3/4 hp motor, capable of filtering 450 cubic ft./minute. This powerful air circulation capacity means that the air within the laboratory can be thoroughly and quickly cleaned even during extensive artifact examinations.

The use of these HEPA portable air filters at SAFE Labs underscores its commitment to safety and environmental health. This proactive approach to air quality management is an integral part of SAFE Labs' operational protocols, ensuring that all procedures and examinations are conducted in a manner that prioritizes health and safety.

In conclusion, the deployment of HEPA portable air filters with adjustable hood arms at SAFE Labs is a testament to the organization's dedication to the health and safety of its personnel, guests, and the integrity of its scientific work. These filters play an important role in mitigating exposure to harmful particulates, thereby supporting SAFE Labs' mission to provide a safe, healthy, and productive environment for all its forensic and investigative activities.
