The PROZON Foundation Continues Its Training Series Entitled: “Legislation and Practice vs. Safety When Working with Refrigerants”

The PROZON Foundation is continuing its training series entitled “Legislation and Practice vs. Safety When Working with Refrigerants”. We have already hosted events in Rzeszów, Warsaw, Kraków and Sosnowiec. Partners for this year’s events were Eko-Sanit Sp. z o.o., the Popularna wholesale supplier, Schiessl Polska Sp. z o.o. and Technika Chłodzenia Sp. z o.o. Attendees had the opportunity to listen to a lecture on the key legal regulations affecting the refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) industry. Particular attention was paid to the interpretation of new regulations that impact day-to-day work. Participants engaged actively in discussion, which helped to deepen understanding of the topics presented. An equally important part of the event was a discussion of issues related to the illegal trade in refrigerants. Several key topics were addressed, including: emissions of refrigerants from smuggling, the trade in prohibited HFC containers, and the low level of awareness among the RAC industry and the general public regarding illegal HFC refrigerants. The need for educational initiatives and stricter enforcement to combat this problem was highlighted.

Another topic covered was safety when working with alternative refrigerants. The importance of properly preparing the work environment and adhering to safety procedures was emphasised. Participants had the opportunity to learn about the latest methods and tools used in this field.

The second part of the training was dedicated to practical work with alternative refrigerants. Volunteers took part in refrigerant testing using a gas analyser, prepared workstations and activity documentation, and labelled portable containers. The practical exercises generated considerable interest. The combination of theoretical and hands-on elements allowed for a deeper understanding of the topics discussed.
