Level I Refrigeration Operator

Ammonia Refrigeration Training

Companies are required to have trained, qualified, and authorized employees for the operation of their refrigeration systems. The more training and experience the operators have, the less chance of an extended outage of the system resulting in a loss of production and product.

Why Is Ammonia Refrigeration Training Important?

Any company looking for a reliable refrigeration system needs to be trained accordingly. This course teaches the operator to recognize potential problems before they become events, leaving the company without the cooling process and/or causing a potential off-site release of ammonia.

OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) will issue violations concerning operator training if found in non-compliance. Additionally, lack of trained employees who do not understand the function of the refrigeration system and its components produce equally grave consequences.
