G BookmarksNew online refrigerant training and assessment programs
Decanting and decommissioning training and assessment programs are available online from the the Australian Refrigeration Council for individuals who either undertake decanting operations at wholesalers or only perform refrigerant recovery operations.
These online training programs have been developed in response to industry requests. They will also ensure that those who are contributing positively to restoring of ozone layer and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are appropriately recognised and supported.
The new licences will replace the Refrigerant Handler Transitional Licence and Refrigerant Recoverer Transitional Licence.
Businesses must have at least one licensed person in order to handle refrigerant during decommissioning or decanting; this person supervises other employees who also undertake decommissioning or decanting work. This will ensure that persons have the necessary skills to safely reclaim refrigerant from end of life refrigeration and air conditioning equipment and to decant refrigerant from one cylinder to another.
Persons can obtain these licences by completing a simple and free online workplace training and assessment package, which is available through the ARC website. In order to access the training program an ARC username and password is required. Call the ARC on 1300 88 4483.
Successful completion of either program will provide applicants with documented evidence to forward to the ARC to have their Transitional handling licence converted to either a Restricted Refrigerant Handlers licence and/or a Restricted Refrigerant Recoverer's licence.
Both Transitional licences (Refrigerant Handler Transitional and
Refrigerant Recoverer Transitional) will be phased out by the ARC. This means that no applications for Transitional licences will be accepted after 30 November 2010.
