Specifically designed for industrial refrigeration systems that use anhydrous ammonia (hazardous material) as the refrigerant. SCS can review and assist with developing Emergency Response Plans (ERP) or Emergency Action Plans (EAP) for these facilities too.
SCS’s Refrigeration Training Programs use the applicable RETA Industrial Refrigeration (IR) 1,2,3 manuals which are included for the duration of the classes. These intensive four-day classes are provided in locations across the nation; convenient for attendees to participate locally. Each class has its own prerequisites.
SCS offers custom on-site training programs for businesses and facilities. This includes, but is not limited to:
Training is provided using materials from RETA, IIAR, manufacturers, and/or field experience, as well as facility-specific standard operating procedures.
Introduction Class: This 2-day training includes ammonia refrigeration-focused material specific to your PSM, RMP, GDC program and facility using RETA, IIAR, manufacturers, and field materials as well as facility-specific standard operating procedures. We highlight the responsibilities of the various PSM, RMP, GDC Team Members that may include, but not be limited to, maintenance, safety, management, environmental, and/or facilities personnel:
Advanced Class: SCS Advanced PSM, RMP, GDC Training is a 4-day course for experienced PSM Program Managers, Plant Managers, facility compliance personnel, and safety-EHS staff who want a detailed review of the more complex regulatory requirements in the PSM, RMP, GDC regulations. The class focuses on the intricate details of the following elements: Process Safety Information (RAGAGEP), Standard Operating Procedures, Management of Change (Project planning through PSSR), and Mechanical Integrity.
This intensive four-day training is designed for operators who are pursuing their RETA CARO, CIRO, CRST certification. Each course includes a review of the pertinent materials.
…Great Class! It was very informative and eye-opening for the actual workload of a true PSM Coordinator Job. I will make it a goal for 2019 to have our Plant Engineers attend the Basics class and I hope to have the Chief Engineer attend the Advanced Class. Everything was very well put together. Kudos for a great program. John Schramm, Corporate Safety Officer, Quality Refrigerated Services
