Information on servicing
1. Checks to the area: Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety
checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. For repair to the refrigerating
system, the following precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.
2. Work procedure: Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of
a flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being performed.
3. General work area: 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
work space shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the work area have been made safe
by removing all flammable material.
4. Checking for the presence of refrigerant: The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant
detector prior to and during work to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable
atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable
refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed and intrinsically safe.
5. Presence of fire extinguisher: 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 C0
fire extinguisher adjacent to the work area.
