Autopsy table ventilation requirements: covered dissection tables feature 6-inch exhaust ports for facility ventilation connection. Ventilated autopsy tables are facility-ventilation-ready. Standard tables do not require ventilation but function best in rooms with 8-12 air changes per hour. Facility ventilation planning: work with HVAC engineer to confirm ACH, exhaust routing, makeup air balance, duct sizing. Room design: exhaust should discharge outdoors, away from air intakes and operable windows. Downdraft or local controls: supplemental to room ventilation, not replacement. Verify local mechanical code compliance before installation. See Compliance Guide for OSHA formaldehyde standard application.
