Chip Albright

President, Fume Hood Certified

Chip Albright started his journey with fume hoods 40 years ago. In working with a number of industry leaders, he has designed a number of fume hoods and has been involved in the manufacturing and installing of tens of thousands of fume hoods. He has been in countless labs and seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. The last decade he has focused his efforts on those who use hoods—what he saw in those labs he visited caused him to become a user advocate. It was clear that the lack of knowledge of proper hood usage made them unsafe. He published the book Laboratory Fume Hoods Explained and is a frequent presenter on fume hood safety at conferences worldwide, with an emphasis on China and India. He also conducts fume hood safety workshops around the world. Currently Chip is the president of Fume Hood Certified.
