Urgent review of refrigerant safety proposals needed

The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) and REFCOM have warned that changes to the rules governing refrigerant gas could increase the risk of accidents.
 
Revisions to the European F-Gas regulations, which the UK continues to apply, are expected to significantly increase the amount of flammable gas and high-pressure systems used by the refrigeration and air conditioning industry, but BESA is concerned there are not enough trained, competent people able to apply them safely.
