Refrigerant safety is IoR conference topic

UK: Refrigerant safety and the importance of risk assessment is this year’s important topic for the Institute of Refrigeration’s annual conference.

The event, taking place at Austin Court, Birmingham, on June 12, will provide an understanding of legal responsibilities, accountability, and regulation compliance.  

Speakers will  discuss how the risk assessments process must be used continually, from design, through installation, service and maintenance by point of work risk assessment. Case studies will explain how a failure to assess risk at each stage can have fatal consequences but, if managed correctly, will protect both people and businesses.

An early bird rate of £102.00 including VAT is available to IoR members until May 13. Non members price is £144.00.
