Ammonia Refrigeration 2
Ammonia Refrigeration 2 : Recognition and Control: Anhydrous ammonia is widely used as a refrigerant in many industrial facilities, including: (a) Meat, poultry, and fish processing facilities, (b) Dairy and ice cream plants, (c) Wineries and breweries, (d) Fruit juice, vegetable juice, and soft drink processing facilities, (e) Cold storage warehouses, (f) Other food processing facilities, (g) Petrochemical facilities. Hazard Recognition: Ammonia spills and releases pose a significant threat to workers from skin contact, inhalation, and fire and explosion. The key provision of process safety management is process hazard analysis (PHA) - a careful review of what could go wrong and what safeguards must be implemented to prevent releases of hazardous chemicals. The following references help you to begin a PHA by recognizing process hazards. (1) Process Safety Management. OSHA Safety and Health Topics Page.?(2) Ammonia. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), (1994, May). Provides an Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations (IDLHs) document that includes acute toxicity data for ammonia. (3) Toxicological Profile for Ammonia. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), (2004, September). Provides exposure risks, exposure limits, and health effects for ammonia. (4) ToxFAQs? for Ammonia. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), (2004, September). Answers the most frequently asked health questions about ammonia. (5) Public Health Statement for Ammonia. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), (2004, September). Provides information on exposure risks, exposure limits, and health effects. (6) Ammonia?[622 KB PDF, 6 pages]. New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, Hazardous Substance Fact Sheet, (2007, September).
