Crane (1994) emphasizes that
BSCs require the same considerations as fume hoods as far as room airflow patterns and location of the hood in relation to room traffic patterns. The location of the cabinet within a room is critical to safe operation. Cabinets should be located away from walking paths. Studies have shown that even walking at moderate speeds up to 42 inches away from the face of a cabinet can cause the cabinet to fail personnel protection tests. [Simons, 1991; Crane, 1994]
