is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure 

that the leak detection    equipment being used is suitable 

for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, 

adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.

5)  Presence of fire extinguisher 

If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration 

equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire 

extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have 

a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the 

charging area.

6)  No ignition sources 

No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration 

system which involves exposing any pipe work that 

contains or has contained flammable refrigerant shall use 

any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead 

to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, 

including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far 

away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and 

disposal, during which flammable refrigerant can possibly 

be released to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking 

place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to 

make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition 

risks. No Smoking signs shall be displayed.

7)   Ventilated  area 

Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately 

ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting 

any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during 

the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation 

should safely disperse any released refrigerant and 

preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.

8)  Checks to the refrigeration equipment 

Where electrical components are being changed, they 

shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. 

At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and service 

guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the
