Your machinery room is your first line of defense in an industrial refrigeration system, packed with safety devices designed to protect you. This Machinery Room Safety Devices course provides comprehensive knowledge of these critical components, ensuring you understand their function and can respond effectively in any situation. You’ll learn about:

Emergency Response Essentials: Master the proper use of emergency stop buttons (E-Stops), understand how emergency ventilation systems operate and when to activate them, and learn the critical importance of ammonia detectors and alarm systems.

Protecting Against Overpressure: Explore the function of safety relief valves (SRVs) and how they prevent catastrophic failures, including the different types of SRV systems and the role of diffusion tanks. Understand emergency pressure control switches and the function of a Fireman’s Box.

Compressor and Vessel Safety: Delve into the safety mechanisms that protect compressors from damage due to high discharge pressure, low oil pressure, and liquid carryover. Learn how high and low-level switches safeguard vessels like recirculators and accumulators, and prevent pump cavitation.

Essential Safety Equipment: Become familiar with the location and proper use of eyewash stations, understand the importance of clearly marked panic doors and exit pathways, and learn how engine room door signage provides critical information in an emergency.

Beyond the Basics: Discover other safety equipment you might find in or around the engine room, such as fire extinguishers and spill kits, and understand the importance of familiarizing yourself with all available resources.

This course empowers you to recognize potential hazards, understand the function of safety devices, and take appropriate action to protect yourself and your colleagues, ensuring a safer work environment. Knowing where the E-Stop is located or how to use the eyewash station could save your life.
