About the Course
Hazardous waste includes equipment containing ozone depleting substances, like air conditioning equipment in motor vehicles. This course provides an overview of safely and compliantly working and decommissioning air-conditioning systems in motor vehicles, and the health and safety risks involved.
You will be able to:
Explain what Fluorinated Gas (F Gas) is.
Understand how these gases damage the environment by depleting the ozone.
Provide an overview of legislation relating to F Gas and how it has been revised over the years.
Identify the chemical and refrigerant hazards associated with recovering, handling and storing pressurised F Gases.
Understand how to select appropriate PPE to protect against the hazards associated with F Gas.
Provide an overview of how a modern vehicle air conditioning system (cabin climate control) works.
Identify different types of refrigerant recovery units and provide an understanding of how they work.
Demonstrate how to safely and appropriately handle, store and transport pressurised cylinders.
Record and report F Gas activities to the appropriate authorities.
Who is this course suitable for?
This course is designed for anyone who needs awareness of refrigerant equipment containing ozone depleting substances, like air conditioning equipment in motor vehicles.
This course is designed to provide and overview of the main health and safety risks associated with working and decommissioning air-conditioning systems.
This course is designed for anyone who needs technical knowledge of refrigerant equipment containing ozone depleting substances.
No experience is needed to take part in this course, it is aimed at all levels within an organisation or company.
