HOW TO USE OUR AMMONIA GUIDANCE
The Cold Chain Federation’s Ammonia Refrigeration guidance is made up of three documents, each with a specific purpose and audience. This document gives a brief overview of each guide and who it is aimed at.
SAFE MANAGEMENT OF AMMONIA REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS
This guidance has been developed by industry following the withdrawal of HSE's publication PM81 to give clear current cross sector guidance on the safe management of ammonia refrigeration systems.
PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT (PSM) FOR AMMONIA REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS
Following publication of Safe Management of Ammonia Refrigeration Systems, the Cold Chain Federation’s Technical and Safety Expert Group produced this new guidance that sets out recommended Process Safety Management Procedures that if implemented will provide assurance that ammonia refrigeration systems are being safely managed.
HAZARDOUS AREA CLASSIFICATION OF AMMONIA REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS IN COMPLIANCE WITH DSEAR 2002
This document has been developed to provide guidance for industry regarding the hazardous area classification of ammonia refrigeration systems in compliance with requirements of the Dangerous Substances and the Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR).
