Ozone Depletion Prevention Training - Central/Southern Session

The Ontario First Nations Technical Services Corporation Solid Waste Program is pleased to offer 2-day Ozone Depletion Prevention Training in Barrie, Ontario. 

Each session is capped at 20 participants. 

This training is open to landfill operators, transfer station operators, and public works managers in First Nations communities and Solid Waste Coordinators at tribal councils.

This training will take place over two days and will include a classroom component to obtain the Ozone Depletion Prevention Certificate from the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI), and a field component that will provide hands-on demonstrations on the removal of ozone-depleting substances from common items disposed of at waste sites. 

Training will include: 

• Environmentally correct equipment design
• Proper handling of refrigerants
• Compliance regulations covering refrigeration and air conditioning systems 

Ozone Depleting Substances are human-produced ozone-depleting gases that are used in refrigerators, freezers, air conditioning units, water coolers, dehumidifiers, and derelict vehicles.
