The recommendations contain a list and examples of labor protection instructions.

On the basis of these recommendations and sample instructions in organizations, regardless of ownership and organizational and legal forms, instructions on labor protection for employees should be developed and approved in the prescribed manner.

Introduction

In accordance with Article 212 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, one of the obligations of the employer is to develop and approve, taking into account the opinion of an elected trade union or other body authorized by employees, instructions on labor protection for employees. Guidelines for the development of labor protection instructions for workers engaged in the maintenance and repair of freon refrigeration units and equipment for refrigerated rooms (hereinafter referred to as the Recommendations) were developed by the State Institution "All-Russian Research Institute of the Refrigeration Industry" (GU VNIHP) by order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia in accordance with Methodological recommendations for the development of state regulatory requirements for labor protection, approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated December 17, 2002 No. 80, Intersectoral rules for labor protection during the operation of freon refrigeration units (POT R M-015-2000) and other applicable regulatory legal acts, containing the requirements and norms of labor protection, in order to develop instructions on labor protection for employees of various positions and professions engaged in the maintenance and repair of freon refrigeration units and equipment of refrigerated premises.

The recommendations contain a list and examples of labor protection instructions for workers (Appendix 4), which take into account the basic requirements for labor protection when performing maintenance and repair of freon refrigeration units and equipment of refrigerated premises.

The recommendations are intended to assist in the development of labor protection instructions for employees in organizations and employers - individuals, regardless of organizational and legal forms and forms of ownership.

Development and approval of labor protection instructions for employees

1. An instruction on labor protection for an employee is developed based on his position, profession or type of work performed.

2. The development of an instruction on labor protection for an employee is carried out taking into account Article 212 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

3. An instruction on labor protection for an employee is developed on the basis of an intersectoral or industry standard instruction on labor protection (and in its absence, intersectoral or sectoral rules on labor protection), safety requirements set forth in the operational and repair documentation of equipment manufacturers, as well as in the technological documentation of the organization, taking into account specific production conditions. These requirements are set out in relation to the position, profession of the employee or type of work performed.

An approximate view of the title page of labor protection instructions for employees is recommended to be drawn up in accordance with Appendix 1 to these Guidelines.

4. The employer ensures the development and approval of labor protection instructions for employees, taking into account the written opinion of an elected trade union or other body authorized by employees. A collective agreement or agreement may provide for the adoption of instructions on labor protection in agreement with the representative body of employees.

5. For new and reconstructed productions put into operation, it is allowed to develop temporary labor protection instructions for employees.

Temporary labor protection instructions for employees ensure the safe conduct of technological processes (works) and the safe operation of equipment. They are developed for a period until the acceptance of these productions into operation.

6. The employer shall organize the verification and revision of labor protection instructions for employees. The instructions must be reviewed at least once every 5 years.

7. Labor protection instructions for employees may be revised ahead of schedule:

a) when revising intersectoral and sectoral rules and standard instructions for labor protection;

b) when working conditions of employees change;

c) when introducing new equipment and technology;

d) based on the results of the analysis of the materials of the investigation of accidents, industrial accidents and occupational diseases;

e) at the request of representatives of the labor authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation or the federal labor inspectorate.

8. If during the period of validity of the instruction on labor protection for the employee, the conditions of his work have not changed, then its validity is extended for the next period.

9. The current instructions on labor protection for employees of the structural unit of the organization, as well as a list of these instructions, is kept by the head of the unit.

10. The location of labor protection instructions for employees is recommended to be determined by the head of the structural unit of the organization, taking into account ensuring accessibility and ease of familiarization with them.

Labor protection instructions for employees can be handed out to them for study during the initial briefing, or posted at workplaces or sites, or stored in another place accessible to employees.

The recommended forms of registers for recording labor protection instructions for employees and recording the issuance of labor protection instructions for employees of organizational units are given in Appendixes 2 and 3 to these Methodological Recommendations.

2.2. The direct performance of work on testing vessels is assigned to a shift mechanic or a senior engineer of the compressor shop. At the same time, the composition of the team for the test is determined, which is provided with tools, overalls, gas masks, and a first aid kit.

The members of the brigade are instructed and their knowledge of the test procedure and safety requirements is tested.

2.3. To create pressure during testing, a special compressor is prepared.

2.4. Suction of the refrigerant from the vessel, purging it with dry air or inert gas and pneumatic testing is carried out by a senior driver or a shift mechanic who is part of the team, under the direct supervision of a responsible person appointed in accordance with clause 2.1 of this instruction.

2.5. To check the condition of the welds, before the pneumatic test of the vessel, thermal insulation is removed in the necessary places, after which a thorough external and, in accessible places, internal inspection of the vessel is carried out.

2.6. When the refrigerant is released, the vessel is evacuated, all other devices, cooling devices connected to the compressor, which is used for suction, are turned off.

2.7. Vacuum is controlled by means of a manometer installed on the suction pipe as close as possible to the test vessel.

The pressure gauge must have an unexpired seal and be in good order; the arrow should point to the zero mark when the pressure gauge is removed from the workplace.

2.8. Complete release from refrigerant residues is achieved by repeatedly turning on the compressor approximately every 2 to 3 hours until the pressure in the apparatus stops increasing.

When the refrigerant is sucked out of the vessel, it is not allowed to heat the latter in any way.

2.9. Before the pneumatic test, the test vessel is disconnected from other vessels, apparatuses using metal plugs with gaskets having shanks protruding beyond the flanges by at least 20 mm. The thickness of the plug must be designed for operating conditions at a pressure higher than the test pressure by 1,5 times. The locations of the plugs for the duration of the test must be marked with warning signs; people are not allowed to stay near them.

Mean Well has launched a family of low ripple dimmable power supplies for LED indoor lighting. The new family includes two series of power supplies - ODLC-45 and ODLC-65 with an output power of 45 and 65 watts, respectively.

ODLC-45 and ODLC-65 are available in a plastic case with wires installed for connection. The converters complement the existing range of budget LED drivers with low ripple and power factor correction: IDPC-45, IDPC-65 (open) and IDLC-45, IDLC-65 (encased).

The new power supplies operate in the output current stabilization mode and have the ability to be dimmed via 0-10 V and PWM interfaces until they are completely turned off. Optionally, there is a variety of power supplies with an additional output of 12 V / 50 mA to power additional sensors / controllers installed in the luminaire.

The new family of LED drivers is intended for interior lighting fixtures of the Armstrong type (and similar) with increased requirements for light pulsation.
