MARKING OF EQUIPMENT USING SIGNS
- Signs for similar appliances used in a work area
generally are addressed by local regulations
and give the minimum requirements for the
provision of safety and/or health signs for a
work location.
- All required signs are to be maintained and em-
ployers should ensure that employees receive
suitable and sufficient instruction and training
on the meaning of appropriate safety signs and
the actions that need to be taken in connection
with these signs.
- The effectiveness of signs should not be dimin-
ished by too many signs being placed together.
- Any pictograms used should be as simple as
possible and contain only essential details.
DISPOSAL OF EQUIPMENT USING
FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS
- See national regulations.
STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT/APPLIANCES
- The storage of equipment should be in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instructions.
- Storage of packed (unsold) equipment
- Storage package protection should be con-
structed such that mechanical damage to the
equipment inside the package will not cause a
leak of the refrigerant charge.
- The maximum number of pieces of equipment
permitted to be stored together will be deter-
mined by local regulations.
