The area around the workspace will be delimited. Ensure that safety conditions
are met in the working area by controlling the flammable material.
4)
The area will be checked with a suitable refrigerant detector before and during
working to ensure that the technician is aware of the potentially
flammable atmosphere. Ensure that the leakage detection equipment used is
suitable in case flammable refrigerants arise, i.e. spark proof, properly protected or
sealed.
5)
In case heating work must be carried out in the refrigeration system or in
any associated parts, adequate fire-fighting equipment must be always available
for you. Make sure there is a dry powder or a CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to
the working area.
6)
No person working within the refrigeration system involving direct exposure to
flammable refrigerant will use an open flame source, otherwise it will significantly
increase the risk of fire or explosion. All ignition sources, including cigarettes,
should be kept sufficiently far from the place of installation, repair, removal and
disposal, during which the flammable refrigerant could be released in
the surrounding area. Before working on such a plant, the surrounding area must
be monitored to ensure that there is no risk of ignition. Also, the message
"No smoking" should be displayed.
7)
Make sure that there is an open or well ventilated area before starting working on
the cooling system or performing any heating work. The presence of a fan
is compulsory throughout the work. Through ventilation, any released coolant
should be safely dispersed and preferably expelled out into the atmosphere.
8)
If the electrical components are replaced, they must comply with the
technical specifications. Strictly observe the instructions for maintenance and
service of the manufacturer. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's technical
department for assistance.

Checking the presence of the refrigerant
The presence of the fire extinguisher
No sources of open flame
Ventilated area
Checking the refrigeration equipment
the amount of cargo is in line with the size of the room where the
components containing the refrigerant are installed;
the fans and air outlets work properly and are not obstructed;
if an indirect cooling circuit is used, the secondary circuit must be
checked
