Webinar: Heat Stress and Cold Stress Prevention August 7, 2024 11:00 AM-12:15 AM EST When working in extreme temperature conditions, either hot or cold, the human body can become overwhelmed and become unable to maintain a normal temperature, resulting in heat- or cold-related stress. Heat stress and cold stress range in severity and may contribute to adverse worker safety and dangerous health effects.

IIAR's Tony Lundell Presents at ATMO “As an ANSI [American National Standards Institute]-accredited developer of standards for natural refrigerants, once the IIAR hydrocarbon standard is completed and approved, we can show the SNAP team that you can safely build a larger [hydrocarbon] system,” said Lundell. In a policy presentation at the ATMOsphere (ATMO) America Summit 2024 held in Washington, D.C., June 10‒11, Lundell outlined the IIAR’s hydrocarbon standard and provided an update on its recently developed safety standard for closed-circuit CO2 (R744) refrigeration systems. ATMOsphere is the publisher of https://conta.cc/4aOoC6m. Once finished and SNAP approved, the new IIAR standard will “allow hydrocarbon refrigeration to progress in the U.S.” by negating the need for case-by-case approvals”, Lundell said, except when more than 1,100 lbs of total hydrocarbon refrigerants are used on one site, you would address the system or multiple systems with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

Webinar: Permit to Work: Confined Space Entry July 10, 2024, 11:00 AM-12:00 PM Eastern (U.S.) time Members: Free Non-Members: $50 Many workplaces contain areas that are considered "confined spaces" because while they are not necessarily designed for people, they are large enough for workers to enter and perform certain tasks. A confined space also has limited or restricted means for entry or exit and is not designed for continuous occupancy. Confined spaces include, but are not limited to, tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, pits, manholes, tunnels, equipment housings, ductwork, and pipelines.
