The Refrigerant Gases Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is designed to help businesses safely manage refrigerant gases. It outlines step-by-step processes for safe handling, storage and use of refrigerant gases in the workplace.
It covers the hazards (liquified gas, hazardous atmospheres), the PPE to wear, operator training, tank transport, work area set-up, handling, storage and filling of tanks, tank maintenance and the steps on completion of work.
A training and induction register records each worker's training and competency.
