“Knowledge will bring the opportunity to make a difference” – Claire Fagin once said. It all starts with education, applied through a hands on experience, then one may attain what is known as wisdom. OSHA will be bringing a new perspective to looking at a mechanical refrigeration systems. It has happened to all of us at one time in our career when a light switch came on, and usually credit was due to somebody taking a few minutes to show you something from a different point of view.
The International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR), the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), and the University of Madison Wisconsin known as the IRC will be holding 6 different training session in early 2017 to train OSHA inspectors on Ammonia Refrigeration. Session one has already occurred with over 30 participants. Things being presented are:
- General Refrigeration Cycle
- Machinery Room Safety Procedures
- RAGAGEP
- IIAR Best Practices
- System Failures
- NDT: Non Destructive Testing Techniques
- Pressure Relief Engineering
