Occupancies with cold storage and refrigerated food processing can be found in most jurisdictions, and they are essential to the delivery of perishable food products. This program provides a basis for effective pre-planning, inspection, and emergency response for these facilities, including instruction on how refrigeration systems work and on chemical refrigerants that these systems use, typically ammonia. Armed with knowledge of how industrial refrigeration systems operate, facility operators, inspectors, and emergency responders will be better prepared to prevent and manage incidents to ensure public and emergency responder safety.
