Refrigeration Safety Awareness
This course is for those wishing to obtain a
Refrigeration Safety Awareness certificate.
It is a B.C. wide industry standard of instruction approved by Technical Safety BC (TSBC), formerly known as the British Columbia Safety Authority (BCSA) and conforms to standards created by TSBC.
This course is a requirement for personnel working in British Columbia in an Industrial Refrigeration Plant at various facilities such as Ice Arenas, Curling Clubs, Cold Storage Facilities, and Process Plants. This usually includes Maintenance persons, Zamboni drivers, and Arena Attendants.
A Refrigeration Safety Awareness certificate enables the holder to be able to monitor the refrigeration plant named on the certificate of qualification with a total plant capacity of 1,000 kW or less prime mover nameplate rating.
The certificate holder is not permitted to operate or perform any repairs to the refrigeration plant, but is permitted to shut down the plant or initiate safety procedures when specifically trained and assigned to perform such tasks.
Scroll down for course dates.
As a cost saving measure for you, the “High Pass Rate” Instructor will attend various locations to administer the One Day course. With his expertise and the newest Student Manuals, you are assured the best possible preparation for the TSBC/BCSA exam, and for an exciting career.
