1.3. General workspace
All maintenance personnel and others working in the area of the site should be briefed on
the nature of the work to be carried out. Work in enclosed spaces must be avoided. The area
around the workspace should be divided into sections. Ensure that conditions within the
workspace are safe by keeping flammable material under control.
1.4. Refrigerant verification
The area should be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector before and during
work to ensure that the technician is warned of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure
that the leak-detection equipment used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e.,
non-sparking, adequately sealed, or intrinsically safe.
1.5. Presence of fire extinguishers
If any high-temperature work is to be carried out on the refrigeration equipment or any
associated parts, suitable extinguishing equipment must be available. Always have a
dry-powder or CO2 fire extinguisher nearby the load area.
1.6. Absence of ignition sources
No person carrying out work related to a refrigeration system involving the exposure of
piping containing or having contained flammable refrigerant should use any source of
ignition in such a manner as to create a risk of fire or explosion. All possible sources of
ignition, including cigarette smoking, should be kept far enough away from the installation,
repair, pick-up, and disposal site, where flammable refrigerant can be released into the
surrounding space. Before work starts, the area around the equipment must be thoroughly
examined to ensure that no danger or risk of ignition is present. "No Smoking" signs must be
displayed.
1.7. Ventilation
Ensure that the area is outdoors or adequately ventilated before intervening in the system
or carrying out any work at high temperature. Proper ventilation must be kept at all times
during work. Ventilation should safely disperse any refrigerant released and preferably expel
it externally to the atmosphere.
1.8. Verification of refrigeration equipment
When electrical components are replaced, they must be fit for purpose and to the correct
specification. The manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines must be followed at all
times. In case of doubt, refer to the manufacturer's technical department for assistance.
The following checks must be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
- The load size is in accordance with the size of the room where refrigerant-containing
parts are installed.
- Ventilation machinery and outlets can be properly operated and are unobstructed.
