Arena & Ammonia Refrigeration Safety
When managed properly, ammonia is a safe and efficient refrigerant — but a leak can endanger staff, visitors, and the surrounding community. Barantas helps arena owners and operators confirm compliance, assess risk, and prepare for emergencies, with general reviews or full engineer-certified reports.
Are you compliant?
- Is your facility fully compliant with all health and safety regulations?
- Are your safe operating procedures compliant — and being followed?
- Is your emergency preparedness adequate and compliant with current legislation?
If you’re not sure, the risks include equipment damage, business interruption, fines, injuries, lawsuits, and potential criminal liability.
