Operating Procedures

General work area:
1
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the
nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided. The area
around the workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area
have been made safe by control of flammable material.
Checking for presence of refrigerant:
2
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during
work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially toxic or flammable atmospheres.
Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with all
applicable refrigerants, i. e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
Presence­of­fire­extinguisher:
3
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated
parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry
powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
No ignition sources:
4
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves
exposing any pipe work shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may
lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette
smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing,
removing and disposal, during which refrigerant can possibly be released to the
surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be
surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks.
"No Smoking" signs shall be displayed.
Ventilated Area (open the door and window):
5
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into
the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the
period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released
refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.
Checks to the refrigeration equipment:
6
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and
to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer's maintenance and service
guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt, consult costumer support for assistance. The
following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
