Anhydrous ammonia is widely used as refrigerant in industrial facilities such as:
Ammonia refrigeration systems with 10,000 pounds or
more of ammonia are a covered process subject to the requirements of the Process Safety
Management Standard [29 CFR 1910.119]. Many of these
requirements are identified in this e-tool as possible controls and are useful as recommended practices whether or not the ammonia refrigeration
system is a covered process. As mentioned in 29 CFR 1910.119 Appendix C, smaller businesses which may have limited resources
might consider reductions in inventory or dispersing inventory to several
locations to reduce the risk from an ammonia release. |
