hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
5.4.1.6 No Ignition Sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves
exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant 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 flammable 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.
5.4.1.7 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.
5.4.1.8 Checks to the Refrigeration Equipment
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 the
manufacturer's technical department for assistance.
The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable
refrigerants:
(1) The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the
refrigerant containing parts are installed;
(2) The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not
obstructed;
(3) If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be
checked for the presence of refrigerant;
(4) Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and
signs that are illegible shall be corrected;
