Flammable Refrigerants Safety Guide
Overview
The online Flammable Refrigerants Safety Guide (FRSG) has been produced by
the AIRAH in association with the federal government.
The free guide is designed to improve awareness of how to best manage the
health and safety risks associated with the use and management of flammable
refrigerants in stationary refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.
What it covers
Refrigeration technicians must have access to refrigeration classification
standard AS/NZS ISO 817 and design standards AS/NZS 5149 (parts 1 to 4).
This online resource will help refrigeration technicians, apprentices and
other stakeholders understand the range of skills and knowledge required to
work safely with flammable refrigerants.
Designers, installers and service providers should access the AS/NZS 5149
Refrigerating systems and heat pumps – Safety and environmental requirements
series in order to understand the precise requirements for an individual
installation.
Please note: this does not substitute for the detailed, nationally endorsed
technical training which provides guidance on how to safely and productively
work with flammable refrigerants. It is a guide meant to complement your
training and improve awareness of best practices.
