i. 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.
ii. Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a
flammable gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed.
iii. 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
workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been
made safe by control of flammable material.
iv. 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 flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the
leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. no
sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
v. 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
orCO2fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
vi. 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

7
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.
vii. 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.
viii. 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:
-The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant
containing parts are installed;
-The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not
obstructed;
-If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be
checked for the presence of refrigerant;
-Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs
that are illegible shall be corrected;
-refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely
to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing
components, unless the components are constructed of materials which are
inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so
corroded.
ix. Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and
component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then no
electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the
fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an
adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the
equipment so all parties are advised.
Initial safety checks shall include:
-Those capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid
possibility of sparking;
-That there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging,
recovering or purging the system;
-That there is continuity of earth bonding
