Overall business success depends largely on effective management and minimisation of risk – refrigerant is no different.  \nUnder the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Regulations 1995, a condition of holding a Refrigerant Trading Authorisation (RTA) is implementing an effective risk management plan (RMP), which outlines the handling and storage of refrigerant in the holder’s business.  \nWhat should my RMP include?  \nAn RMP must identify potential risks which could result in the emission of refrigerant to the atmosphere and identify processes and practices that minimise the possibility of those risks occurring. Your RMP must reflect the risks of emissions relevant to all parts of your business practices, including refrigerant handling, storage and transport. This applies whether your business is conducted from a vehicle or building, and whether you are a sole trader or employ 100 or more technicians.  \nOver the next 2 pages is a useful template you can use, or compare to your existing RMP.  \nFeel free to use this template, just make sure you apply it to your specific business practicesand do the following:  \n• Identify if you work in the Automotive or Stationary fields  \n• Insert relevant person responsible against each risk  \n• Insert review date  \n• Read over the whole plan carefully and put lines through the areas that don’t relate to your business. In particular, see the section ‘Decommissioning end of life equipment’.  \n• Add further risks and control measures if relevant to your business.  \nRisk Management Plan  \nBusiness name ❏ Automotive ❏ Stationary (please tick)  \nRTA Number Main contact for your business RMP  \n| Activity steps | Potential hazards/risks | Risk control measures | Australian\u003Cbr>Standards\u003Cbr>and Code\u003Cbr>of practice\u003Cbr>reference | Person responsible\u003Cbr>(full name) | Next review date\u003Cbr>(within 12 months) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Purchase of\u003Cbr>refrigerant | Loose, damaged or missing cylinder caps | • At time of purchase check that refrigerant cylinders are tightly capped\u003Cbr>• Ensure quarterly purchase records are kept up to date\u003Cbr>• Only accept refrigerant cylinders from wholesalers if they are properly sealed (bunged or capped) . | ✓ |  |  |\n|  | Poor cylinder condition (rusted, corroded, damaged) .
