Important Environmental Concerns
Studies have shown that certain man-
made chemicals can affect the earth’s stratospheric ozone layer when released
into the atmosphere. Refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen,
Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs), may affect the ozone layer. Not all refrigerants have the same potential
impact on the environment. YMGI Group advocates for the responsible handling of all refrigerants including industry
replacements for CFCs such as HCFCs and HFCs.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices
YMGI Group believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to our customers, the HVAC/R industry and
the environment. All HVAC/R technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act
(Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants,
the equipment and tools necessary to perform these service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities
may have additional requirements that must also be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. HVAC/R
technicians must know the applicable laws and follow them.

hazards. To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow
the requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as described in this manual, by NEC and your state/local
electrical codes.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Failure to wear proper PPE for the job being undertaken could result in serious injury or even death. Technicians
