How EHS Training Services are Selected • Decentralized Approach • This is the “normal/standard” approach • Does not necessarily allow for optimum continuity and consistency across all facilities • Centralized Approach • More and more companies looking at this • Many times occurs as the result of reportable releases and/or fines 8
Decentralized Approach to EHS Training • Corporate informs facilities what training is required, who needs it, & when • Facilities carry out these assignments • Generally under facility manager’s budget • Training conducted by combination of local EHS reps. , corporate EHS, and/or local training providers • This approach works well for many 9
Centralized Approach to EHS Training • Assures consistent development and delivery from facility to facility • Training tends to have a corporate focus, with flexibility to adjust for variations and nuances of each individual facility • Training generally provided by corporate EHS staff or outside EHS training vendor • Training is paid by corporate or “billed” to facility 10
Could Centralized Training be an Effective Approach? • Does the content and quality of EHS training vary from facility to facility? • Is adherence to regulations uneven from facility to facility? • Do your EHS managers (corporate or regional) spend too much time training? • Do your facilities need more EHS training support? p Do 11
Why Pepsi. Co Chose a centralized Approach • The adherence to regulations was uneven from facility to facility • The quality and content of EHS Training varied drastically from facility to facility • Found a National Training Provider who they could partner with 12

AMMONIA – WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? MOST EFFICIENT REFRIGERAN T AVAILABLE COST EFFECTIVE CAN BE AS SAFE AS FREONS 120 YEARS OF EXPERIENC E
AMMONIA – WHAT DO WE USE IT FOR? PEPSICO USES AMMONIA AS A REFRIGERANT • Closed loop vapor compression cycle • Evaporation of liquid in heat exchangers provides cooling • We control pressures to control temperatures
WHAT ARE THE HAZARDS OF AMMONIA? HEALTH HAZARDS • INHALATION – Mild irritation to fatal • EYE DAMAGE – Mild irritation to blindness • SKIN DAMAGE – Frost bite; Chemical burn • INGESTION FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARDS • Within limited concentrations CHEMICAL HAZARDS • Reacts Violently with strong Acids
HOW DO HEALTH HAZARDS CHANGE WITH INCREASES IN AMMONIA CONCENTRATIONS? 5 -50 ppm • Noticeable odor 300 ppm – IDLH (30 mins) 2, 400 ppm • Threat to life with 30 min exposure 0 -2, 000 ppm 5, 000 -10, 000 • Threat to life with SHORT exposure >10, 000 ppm • Possible Death 25 ppm: NIOSH REL TWA 35 ppm: ACGIH TLV STEL 50 ppm: OSHA PEL
