HVAC & Plumbing Hazards Addressed in This EAP
Confined Spaces
HVAC/plumbing work is conducted in more confined spaces than almost any other trade — mechanical rooms, attics, crawl spaces, tunnels, boiler rooms, and large-diameter HVAC ducts. Atmospheric hazards include refrigerant displacement of oxygen, CO from combustion equipment, and natural gas leaks.
Electrical Loto
HVAC service and installation involves working on or near high-voltage electrical systems (three-phase power, variable frequency drives). Equipment panels contain stored capacitor energy that remains dangerous after disconnect.
Fall Protection
Rooftop HVAC equipment installation and service is performed at significant heights. Ductwork installation in high commercial ceilings requires aerial lifts and elevated platforms.
Chemicals Silica
Refrigerant handling requires EPA 608 certification and presents health hazards. Pipe threading fluids, flux, and soldering materials present chemical hazards. Cutting concrete for pipe penetrations creates silica dust.
