ndustry technicians came from a variety of
companies across the country to complete
the safe handling course.
This course is vital to ensure that anyone
working with this potentially harmful refrigerant
can do so safely to avoid any accidents. It is
also a legal requirement for anyone in the field
who works with ammonia.
The course includes a practical and
theoretical side and was presented by Kurt
Johannsen of OTTC.
OTTC has been offering this course for many
years and boasts a working ammonia plant for
students to gain practical experience.
This was one of the biggest groups to
date to have completed the ammonia
safe handling course at OTTC. CLA

OTTC’s functioning ammonia plant.
2. The course involved both theory and
practical work.
