Safety and hazards in the refrigeration industry.

Author(s) : HEAP R. D.

Summary

The scope of the refrigeration industry is outlined. It reaches into a huge range of fields we all encounter in our daily lives, particularly relating to food, health and comfort. It is unfortunately impossible for an industry as vast and various as the refrigeration industry to operate without accidents and fatalities, but it is important to place them in context. The refrigeration industry is relatively safe, and most of the hazards are common to many work situations, rather than specific to refrigeration. Statistical details of UK workplace accidents are summarised. Refrigeration is widespread and is generally not lethal, and with common sense and proper care, it should never be lethal.
