Ammonia Leak Training

This last week GCAP rehearsed an ammonia leak and trained on how to handle incidental releases and determine when to initiate the emergency action plan and/or response.  Nothing better than training with live hands-on approach based upon our facility and our procedures.

If you have a leak what should be answered by muscle memory?

  1. Where is the leak?
  2. Ammonia detection?
  3. Ventilation?
  4. High side or low side?
  5. Liquid or Gas?
  6. Can the leak be isolated?

Below is a section of GCAP’s Ammonia Leak Procedure we use as part of our PSM/RMP class!
