在线和教练LED培训教育消防员关于与新制冷剂相关的易燃性和毒性风险
200多个国家达成了迎来一类新的制冷剂，今年有效国家防火协会（NFPA）and its research affiliate, theFire Protection Research Foundation(Research Foundation), have released free online training for the fire service, as well as an instructor-led training module to educate firefighters about the potential hazards associated with new refrigeration and cooling units.
The new accord calls for low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants to be used in residential and commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems around the world. This push for more sustainable solutions is driving the need for firefighters to learn about potential flammability and toxicity risks, asphyxiation challenges, jet stream fires, transportation issues, and other life safety considerations associated with flammable refrigerants.
为了帮助教育美国的消防服务成员，FEMA为NFPA提供资金，以发展对该新兴技术的培训 - 正如NFPA过去所做的那样，以通知消防员关于替代燃料汽车和能量存储系统。大约一小时的课程概述了GWP过渡的概述，并突出了消防员在响应存在新的易燃制冷剂的事件时可能遇到的特定危险。
Four modules featureengaging videos, animations (including 3D animations), simulations, and review missions so that students can:
- 描述为什么开发了新一代制冷剂
- Identify where flammable refrigerants are likely to be found in residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation contexts
- 描述新一代制冷剂（易燃性，毒性，压力释放）所呈现的主要危害
- Relate the refrigerant charge size to the level of risk
- 评估涉及易燃制冷剂的特定情况下存在的危险
- 适应响应策略以减轻不同类型紧急情况的制冷剂的后果
此外，该课程强调，在接听涉及易燃制冷剂的呼叫时，严格遵守标准操作程序（SOP），PPE和SCBA协议，以及净化措施。
“Firefighters have an inherently dangerous job that requires them to follow SOPs and take steps to learn about the emerging threats that put people, property and themselves at risk,” said Ed Conlin, Director of NFPA Emergency Response and Responder Safety Division. “The presence of flammable refrigerants at a response call in the future is highly likely, and as such, warrants the need for responders in departments of every type, size and setting to learn all that they can about these systems and proper response strategies.”
NFPA’s online Flammable Refrigerant Training for the Fire Service is available at no cost. Those that successfully complete the training will receive a certificate of completion.
