Arena Safety Procedures for Ice Skating and Curling Facilities
The Provincial Chief Boiler Inspector will give a brief overview of the refrigeration plant room inside an ice arena. He’ll describe the roles of various safety devices and best practices along with some avoidable risks and hazards associated with the operation of a typical refrigeration plant room. Both, Ammonia and Freon facilities will be discussed.
An emphasis will be placed on the need for facilities to be up to date in their safety codes, the need for worker safety training, the proper use of personal protective equipment, proper ventilation, alarm systems, safe storage of hazardous substances, and the importance of recording in the official plant log, and what to do in case of a variety of emergencies.
This webinar is highly recommended for all arena personnel including ice technicians,
canteen staff and management as emergencies can happen to anyone at any time!
