Refrigeration technicians require training programs to work with more energy efficient and alternative refrigerants as hydrofluorocarbons are phased down. The article discusses an ammonia training program and an energy efficient industrial refrigeration program. It also mentions the importance of just in time support and awareness of refrigeration standards for designers, installers, and service providers to safely work with flammable refrigerants as alternatives to HFCs are adopted from Europe and elsewhere.

6. Awareness
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.
