This week I was at one of my food clients who use anhydrous ammonia as their refrigerant. This client replaced two old condensers with one bigger condenser. This new condenser came with some interesting labels, which to safety professionals, made our “assessment” of this piece of equipment relatively easy… it is a Permit-Required Confined Space. Now, if we could only get the manufacturers to properly label their equipment so those customers not staffed with a safety professional can better manage the hazards associated with this type of equipment/machinery.
So how is the manufacturer declaring the “fan drive maintenance” space under the condenser’s fan a PRCS? Simple…
