White Paper: Training Your Employees In EPA Refrigerant Compliance And Safety

In the United States, the EPA cites environmental preservation as the reason for the high degree of regulation in the air conditioning industry. Following EPA refrigerant regulations responsibly will contribute to the reduction of a menacing environmental threat and prevent organizations from having to pay civil penalties of up to $32,500 per day per violation and criminal penalties of up to five years imprisonment . This is why it is important that in-house service technicians and outside contractors working with refrigerants are consciously following your organization's written EPA policy and procedures. Well-defined procedures, appropriate equipment, and sufficient knowledge of refrigerants will reduce accidents and injuries on the job.
