The Oak Ridge refrigerant management program.

Author(s) : KEVIL T. H.

Summary

The paper identifies some of the hidden pitfalls to be encountered in the accelerated phaseout schedule of CFCs and explains how to overcome and prevent these problems. In addition, it outlines the general issues that must be considered when addressing the phase-out of ozone depleting substances and gives some lessons learned during the refrigerant management program. Discussion topics include requirements for developing a refrigerant management plan and establishing priorities for cost-effective compliance with the Clean Air Act Amendments, as well as ways in which employees can be empowered to develop a comprehensive refrigerant management plan. The result of this employee empowerment was a cooperative labor-management effort that is beneficial for the Oak Ridge Y-12 plant, the Department of Energy, and the environment.
