Are you ready for the alternatives?

18985404_s1UK: The Institute of Refrigeration is seeking the views of employers and manufacturers on the industry’s readiness for alternative refrigerants.

Employers and manufacturers are invited to to share their views on readiness for the broader use of alternative refrigerants and how we can best prepare the workforce for the challenges ahead in a special online survey.

Part of the new REAL Alternatives programme, the survey seeks to establish the training requirements for carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbon and HFO refrigerants and assist in the development of educational material. The Institute is also inviting those who have existing learning resources that they would like to share with the project to come forward.

You can take part in the online survey here. The survey closes on January 23.
