- Vancouver, BC, Jan. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Technical Safety BC is urging owners, operators, and those who work with ammonia refrigeration systems to be more vigilant following an investigation into a fatal ammonia incident at an ice making facility in the Mount Paul Industrial Park located on Tḱemlúps te Secwépemc reserve in Kamloops.
- Technical Safety BC’s incident investigation report found the primary cause of the incident was a failure to remove ammonia from the refrigeration system ahead of its disassembly.
- The investigation concluded that the ammonia release occurred when a ball valve holding back pressurized ammonia for the entire system was opened.
- This led to the incorrect assumption that the entire ammonia system was empty, despite ammonia being found the day before the incident.
