Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure
that the risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be
complied with prior to conducting work on the system.
Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a flammable gas or
vapour being present while the work is being performed.
General work area
AII 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
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.
Presence of fire extinguisher
lf 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
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. AII 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 piace, 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
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
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and tohe correct
specification. At all times the manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. lf in doubt,
consult the manufacturer's technical department for assistance.
The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
---The actual refrigerant charge is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing
parts are installed;
---The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately andare not obstructed;
