Online Industrial Training – Garden City Ammonia Program

Today Randy Williams and his Ammonia Operator III class join us in the studio. We are calling the National Response Center (NRC) with a fictitious ammonia release scenario for ammonia refrigeration training purposes. also included in today’s show is the class giving their opinions and thoughts on the National Response Center call, ammonia releases, evacuation procedures, OSHA and the EPA’s notification requirements when an ammonia release occurs.

The National Response Center has deployed an On-Line Reporting Tool. This tool provides users of the internet the ability to easily submit incident reports to the NRC. In addition, the tool will transmit an email containing the report number back to the Reporting Party. The on-line HELP feature will assist users in all facets of the tool. We invite you to utilize the NRC On-Line Reporting Tool by clicking here.

Questions and Information to be asked by an Ammonia Refrigeration System for Online-Reporting

Reports taken by the NRC are based on the “Incident Type.” Each Incident Type requires a different subset of information.  The NRC On-Line Reporting Application “HELP” feature describes these areas in detail. All incident types are available for submission via the application.

The NRC will contact the Reporting Party within 30 minutes of receiving an online report to provide an official NRC Report Number. If you have not received an email confirmation from the NRC within 45 minutes of submitting a report, please contact us by phone using our toll free number (800-424-8802).
