THE Institute of Brunei Technical Education Jefri Bolkiah Campus (IBTE JBC) recently conducted a workshop for the training of refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) technicians on good practices during servicing and installation.
The workshop was held on December 21-22, in joint collaboration with the Department of Environment, Parks and Recreation (JASTRe) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
This is the 16th workshop related to Brunei Darussalam’s Hydrochlorofluorocarbon Phase-Out Management Plan (HPMP), in addition to issues on global warming and ozone depletion under the Montreal Protocol.
JASTRe has already worked with IBTE JBC in raising awareness on the importance of proper procedures for service technicians, while educating them on the impact of ozone-depleting substances and greenhouse chemicals.
More 200 RAC technicians attended the two-day course, to upgrade their knowledge on current environmental, health, safety and handling issues. More training programmes will be conducted throughout 2016 and 2017, to accommodate all service technicians from registered RAC service companies in Brunei Darussalam.
