Mail Handling Safety Equipment
• The federal government processes hundreds of billions of pieces of mail each year.
• While most pieces are handled without incident, the threat of biological or explosive material is real.
“Implementing anticipatory measures is more likely to mitigate the negative effects of an event.” – U.S. ISC
• The U.S. Interagency Security Committee (ISC) compiled a document where they make numerous safety and preventative recommendations for mail processing facilities.
• Recommendation: Provide engineering safety controls such as downdraft tables, separate air filtration units, and a safe air room for mail processing.
“Engineering controls provide the best means of preventing worker exposure to potential hazardous aerosolized particles.” – U.S. ISC
• While explosives are a major threat, powder and air contaminates can be just as dangerous as they become airborne and are prone to inhalation.
• Sentry Air Systems offers a variety of HEPA-filtered engineering safety control solutions that are modular, portable, energy-efficient and easy to use.
Ductless Containment Hood• Powerful fan pulls powder and particulate away from
operator’s breathing zone. • HEPA filter arrests hazardous particles.• Variable speed knob gives operator control over airflow. • Optional vinyl strip curtains provide greater containment.• Available in a variety of widths.• Zero ductwork required, portable design.
Containment Hood w/ Exhaust Plenum• For environments requiring exterior venting or direct venting
into an HVAC system, our plenum attachment can be used.• The modular design of our hoods allows for easy integration
into most environments.
Downdraft Table• Great for oversized or bulk packages• A negative pressure system that pulls air through the slotted
work surface and into the filter chamber.
Sentry Air Systems, Inc. has experience in supplying mail processing containment hoods to a variety of
government agencies.
