This environmental awareness training program, based on Environment Canada's "Code of Practice for Elimination of Fluorocarbon Emissions in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems", deals with environmentally-correct equipment design, proper handling of refrigerants, and will prepare participants for complying with Federal and Provincial Regulations covering refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
Specific topics covered are: Science of ozone depletion, leak detection methods, system charging procedures, special maintenance provisions, and refrigerant recovery, reuse, recycle and reclamation equipment. 1.5 hours allotted to the final exam.
The “Canada’s Ozone Layer Protection Awareness Program” is now available online for those who do not have access to an in-class course or prefer online learning. The online “Canada’s Ozone Layer Protection Awareness Program” will allow you to work through the modules at your own pace, providing review questions throughout the modules along with a quiz at the end of each module. The quizzes are designed to assist in the learning process and do not count towards your final exam mark.
