Materials Ammonia Refrigeration and HAZWOPER Combo
This 5 day course is a combination of our "Ammonia Refrigeration" class and our "HAZWOPER Hazardous Material Technician Training" 24-hour class. This course should be considered a minimum requirement for entry-level industrial refrigeration operators, decision-makers involved or personnel involved in PSM/RMP, and individuals who respond to ammonia releases or potential ammonia releases. As part of the "Ammonia Refrigeration" training, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of industrial refrigeration including compressor, condenser, pump, and evaporator operation and maintenance. Additionally, students will be trained in the Process Safety Management and Risk Management Programs (PSM/RMP). Students are administered quizzes throughout the course and will be awarded a certificate after receiving an overall passing grade across all quizzes. In the "HAZWOPER Hazardous Material Technician Training" portion, students will become familiar with the techniques and procedures to contain an ammonia leak and students will participate in an emergency response drill utilizing full personal protective equipment with a fully operational ammonia plant. OSHA defines hazardous materials technicians as individuals who respond to releases or potential releases for the purpose of stopping the release. They assume a more aggressive role than a first responder at the operations level in that they will approach the point of release in order to plug, patch or otherwise stop the release of a hazardous substance. This course includes hands-on training in the IRTC full scale ammonia refrigeration system which is a fully functional ammonia plant on campus. This environment allows students to test their newly learned skills in a supervised setting. PDH: 24 (for Ammonia Refrigeration curriculum)
