- 3 - INTRODUCTION Refrigerant gases are commercial gases that are used as a heat exchange material. Most of the early refrigerants which were toxic, corrosive, or flammable, have been replaced by chlorofluorocarbons, but even these have come under intense scrutiny in the 90 s as suspected ozone destroyers. Some examples of early refrigerant gases/liquids are sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and ammonia (NH 3 ). Both are very noxious, irritating substances. They are no longer used in domestic refrigerators, though ammonia continues to be popular in large industrial applications. The refrigeration industry has adopted a system of identifying refrigerant chemicals by assigning them R numbers. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) created the system to help identify these gases without having to deal with their proper chemical names. However, the proper shipping name must be used when preparing a dangerous goods shipping document. Shipping names, classes and UN numbers for some common refrigerant gases can be found in Appendix 1. EXEMPTIONS Class 2, Gases, or Ammonia Solutions (Class 8) in Refrigerating Machines Exemption [Section 1.32] This section of the Transportation and Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations provides an exemption from Part 3 (Documentation), Part 4 (Dangerous Goods Safety Marks), Part 5 (Means of Containment), Part 6 (Training), Part 7 (Emergency Response Assistance Plan), Part 8 (Report Requirements), Part 9 (Road) and Part 10 (Rail) for UN2857, REFRIGERATION MACHINES, and refrigerating machine components, containing Class 2.2, Non-flammable, Non-toxic gases or UN2672, AMMONIA SOLUTIONS, if the quantity of gas has a mass that is less than or equal to 12 kg and the quantity of ammonia solutions is less than or equal to 12 L. Refrigerating machines include air conditioning units and machines or other appliances designed for the specific purpose of keeping food or other items at a low temperature in an internal compartment. 150 kg Gross Mass Exemption (Section 1.15) For some gases, this section provides a total exemption if all the requirements of the exemption are complied with. Part 3 (Documentation), Part 4 (Dangerous Goods Safety Marks), Part 5 (Means of Containment), Part 6 (Training) and Part 8 (Report Requirements) do not apply to the handling, offering for transport or transporting of dangerous goods on a road vehicle, a railway vehicle or a ship on a domestic voyage if:

- 4 - the dangerous goods are included in Class 2, Gases, and they are in one or more small means of containment in compliance with the requirements for transporting gases in Part 5, Means of Containment the gross mass of all dangerous goods transported on the road vehicle or the railway vehicle is less than or equal to 150 kg, and transported on the ship on a domestic voyage is less than or equal to 150 kg, excluding dangerous goods in a road vehicle or railway vehicle being transported on the ship. This exemption does not apply to dangerous goods that: are in a quantity or concentration that requires an emergency response assistance plan; require a control or emergency temperature; are included in Class 2.1, Flammable Gases, and are in a cylinder with a capacity greater than 46 L; are included in Class 2.3, Toxic Gases; 500 kg Gross Mass Exemption [Section 1.16] When refrigerant gases, solvents or propane torches are carried on refrigeration service vehicles or in a mixed load with other dangerous goods in small containers, this exemption may apply. Part 3 (Documentation), Part 4 (Dangerous Goods Safety Marks) and Part 5 (Means of Containment) do not apply to the handling, offering for transport or transporting of dangerous goods on a road vehicle, a railway vehicle or a ship on a domestic voyage if: in the case of dangerous goods included in Class 2, Gases, they are in one or more small means of containment in compliance with the requirements for transporting gases in Part 5, Means of Containment, or the gross mass of all dangerous goods transported on the road vehicle or the railway vehicle is less than or equal to 500 kg, and transported on the ship on a domestic voyage is less than or equal to 500 kg, excluding the dangerous goods in a road vehicle or railway vehicle being transported on the ship;

For example, Class 2.1, number of means of containment, 5 Class 2.2, number of means of containment, 10 The exemption does not apply to dangerous goods that: are in a quantity or concentration that requires an emergency response assistance plan; require a control or emergency temperature; are included in Class 2.1, Flammable Gases, and are in a cylinder with a capacity greater than 46 L; are included in Class 2.3, Toxic Gases;

- 6 - DANGEROUS GOODS SHIPPING DOCUMENT If the shipment of refrigerant gases does not fit into any of the above exemptions, a complete dangerous goods shipping document is required to accompany the shipment. It is the responsibility of the consignor to prepare a shipping document when offering dangerous goods for transportation. The document is similar to a standard bill of lading but must contain information needed to describe the dangerous goods [Section 3.1]. According to Section 1.4 of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations, the definition of the shipping document must be in paper format, electronic format is not acceptable. The shipping document is handed over to the initial carrier and must accompany the consignment throughout its journey [Section 3.2]. The consignor and each carrier that transported shall retain a copy of the shipping document for a period of two years [Section 3.11].

- 7 - The following table describes the minimum required information which must appear on a dangerous goods shipping document. Shipping Document Information When Required Where in The Regulations Date Always 3.5(1)(b) Name and address of consignor Always 3.5(1)(a) Description of goods in the following order a.

If the quantity of dangerous goods is less than 10% of the container s capacity then the words Residue Last Contained followed by the shipping name of the dangerous goods last contained in the means of containment may be used to describe the quantity. This does not apply to Class 2 gases in small containers [Section 3.5(4)].

- 8-2. If the quantity of dangerous goods or the number of small means of containment changes during transport, the carrier must show on the shipping document or on a document attached to the shipping document the change in the quantity of dangerous goods or the number of small containers [Section 3.5(5)]. 3. A consignor can also use the telephone number of an agency that is competent to give the technical information on the shipment. For example, it is possible to use CANUTEC as a source of technical information provided that the consignor has received permission in writing from CANUTEC [Section 3.5(2)]. 4. Consignor s Certification: I hereby declare that the contents of this consignment are fully and accurately described above by the proper shipping name, are properly classified and packaged, have dangerous goods safety marks affixed or displayed on them, and are in all respects in proper condition for transport according to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations. (Section 3.6.1) Location of Document During Transport When a driver enters a power unit (for example, a tractor) he or she must place the shipping document in a pocket mounted on the driver s door, or within the driver s reach. If the driver leaves the power unit he or she must place the document in the door pocket, on the driver s seat or on a location visible to anyone entering the power unit through the driver s door [Section 3.7]. SAFETY MARKS Safety marks are labels, placards, UN numbers and package markings. They are described in Part 4 of the TDG Regulations. The consignor is responsible for displaying safety marks on all means of containment carrying dangerous goods. The carrier is responsible for making sure that the safety marks remain displayed during transport. The carrier is also responsible for removing or changing the safety marks if the requirements for dangerous goods safety marks change during transport [Section 4.5(1)]. Small Means of Containment A small means of containment has a capacity of 450 L or less. A small container must display the dangerous goods label(s), the shipping name and the UN number of the product [Sections 4.10 to 4.12]. The label is at least 100 mm with a line running 5 mm inside the edge on each side. If the container is too small or it has an irregular shape, the label can be reduced in size up to a dimension of 30 mm on each side [Section 4.7(2)]. If the label is reduced in size to 30 mm, the label may be displayed on a tag affixed to the means of containment [Section 4.10(4)]. If the label is displayed on a tag, the tag must also display the shipping name and UN number [Sections 4.11(3) and 4.12(2)].

- 9 - The UN number for a dangerous goods label can be placed inside the label or next to the label as shown below [Section 4.8(1)(b)]. If the UN number is inside the label the letters UN must be omitted. Example of Safety Marks for a Small Means of Containment In this case the product is REFRIGERANT GAS R12, Class 2.2 REFRIGERANT GAS R12 UN 1028 REFRIGERANT GAS R12 1028 Class 2.2 label is green with a white cylinder symbol Example of Safety Marks for a Small Means of Containment In this case the product is, SULPHUR DIOXIDE, Class 2.3 (8) 1079 SULPHUR DIOXIDE Class 2.3 label is white with a skull and crossbones symbol. Class 8 label is black with a corrosive symbol on its top half.

- 10 - Large Means of Containment Placards representing the hazard class(es) of the dangerous goods being transported are placed on all four sides of a large means of containment (capacity greater than 450 L) or transport units. Each side of a placard must be at least 250 mm in length. Except for the DANGER placard, all placards have a line running 12.5 mm inside the edge. If the large means of containment has an irregular shape or its size is too small, the placard can be reduced in size but the dimensions must never be less that 100 mm on each side [Section 4.7(3)]. Placards and UN numbers must be displayed in accordance with the table in Section 4.15 of the TDG Regulations if: the dangerous goods are in a quantity or concentration for which an Emergency Response Assistance Plan is Required; the dangerous goods are a liquid or a gas in direct contact with the large means of containment; the dangerous goods have a total gross mass greater than 500 kg; or Placards must be displayed on all four sides of a large means of containment; one on each side and one on each end. The placard can also be displayed on the frame for the means of transport or any other frame permanently attached to the large means of containment. A placard can also be placed at the front of a truck if the leading end of a highway tank is obstructed by the tractor [Section 4.15(3)]. The UN number of the dangerous goods being transported must be displayed inside the placard or on an orange panel next to the placard. The letters UN are always omitted [Section 4.8(2)].

- 11 - Example of Safety Marks for a Large Means of Containment In this case the product is PROPANE, Class 2.1 1978 1978 Class 2 placards have a red background and a white flame symbol DANGER Placard DANGER placard can only be used when 2 or more dangerous goods that required different placards are contained in small means of containment are transported and loaded in the same large means of containment. [Section 4.16] DANGER placard cannot be used for dangerous goods that have a gross mass greater than 1000 Kg, are included in the same class and are offered for transport by one consignor; dangerous goods that require an emergency response assistance plan (ERAP); dangerous goods included in Class 2.3, Toxic Gases. DANGER placard cannot be used on a road or rail vehicle to be transported by ship contains a flammable gas.

- 12 - TRAINING Unless there is an exemption under the TDG Regulations, anyone who handles, offers for transport or transports dangerous goods must have a valid Dangerous Goods Training Certificate or must be under the direct supervision of a trained person [Section 6.1]. The employer issues a training certificate when he/she has reasonable grounds to believe that an employee possesses adequate training. The training certificate may be in paper or electronic format. Self-employed people can issue training certificates for themselves. The employer must keep a record of the training that the employee has received and a copy of his/her training certificate [Section 6.6]. The training certificate must be immediately presented to an inspector who requests for it [Section 6.8]. RELEASE OR ANTICIPATED RELEASE REPORT REQUIREMENT In the event of a release or anticipated release of dangerous goods (herein referred to as an event), the person in possession of the dangerous goods at the time of the event must make an Emergency Report to the local authorities as soon as possible. An emergency report is required when any quantity of Class 2 dangerous goods that was or may have been released or for any potential release. For more information on reporting requirements, request the CIC information bulletin entitled Reporting an Accidental Release of Dangerous Goods. A local authority is any organization which may be responsible for emergency response at the location of the release or anticipated release. In Alberta, these include: the local police or RCMP, and the Co-ordination and Information Centre (CIC) The person making the Emergency Report must also make a Release or Anticipated Release Report as per Section 8.4 to CANUTEC (1-888-226-8832 or 613-996-6666) if: a fatality occurred; there were any injuries caused by exposure to the dangerous goods which required medical treatment by a health care provider;

- 13 - an evacuation occurred or people sheltered in place; a loading or unloading facility, road, main rail line or main waterway was closed; the container became damaged enough to compromise its integrity; or the centre sill or stub sill of a tank car was broken or there is a crack in the metal equal to or greater than 15 cm (6 in.) If a report is required to CANUTEC, the person must also report the incident to the consignor of the dangerous goods. The information that must be included in the Emergency or Release or Anticipated Release Report is: the name and contact information of the person making the report; the date, time and location of the event; the mode of transport used (including a description of the container); the shipping name or UN number of the dangerous goods; the quantity of dangerous goods initially in the container; the quantity of dangerous goods released (if applicable); the type of incident leading to the event (for example: collision, roll-over, derailment, overfill, fire, explosion or load-shift); the name and geographic location of any road, main railway or main waterway that was closed (if applicable); the number of people evacuated or sheltered in place (if applicable); and the number of fatalities or injures (if applicable). A report can also include other information not required by the regulations (for example, any cleanup arrangements, or involvement of other emergency response agencies like the police, fire department, Alberta Environment and Parks or the Alberta Energy Regulator). After submitting a Release or Anticipated Release report to CANUTEC, the person or employer of the person who made the report must submit a 30-day follow-up report to the Dangerous Goods Directorate of Transport Canada [Section 8.8]. The 30-Day Follow-up Report must include the following information: name and contact information of the person submitting the report; date, time and location of the event; names and contact information of the consignor, carrier and consignee; the mode of transport; classification of the dangerous goods; quantity of dangerous goods in the container before the event occurred; the quantity of dangerous goods released (if applicable) a description of the container involved and a description of the failure or damage including how the event occurred; information about the conditions leading to the event; information on any fire or explosion (if applicable); the name and location of any facility that was closed, and the duration of the closure;
