Right now I am remodeling my shop. As I am doing it I am keeping in mind future tools I would like to add. One thing that I have been thinking about is to build a room that can easily be converted to a clean room in the future if I get into any food or medical parts.
I have worked at factories before that made medical parts and the procedures verified depending on the part made. It could be as simple as wash your hands, wearing gloves, wearing gloves a gown and mask, a plastic clean room around the machine with hepa filters, or on some parts a full on pressurized clean room where you had to fully suit up and take two air showers between three doors before entering.
I am thinking in that one room using airtight drywall instillation and then in the future if I get into work where a clean room is needed add some type of hepa filtration to positively pressurize the room. I think that would work for all but the most demanding jobs and for now cost less then $100 extra for doing the airtight drywall.
Does any one here have a clean room set up or do medical or food parts? If so what special precautions do you take?
