HVAC / Air Conditioning RAMS
Air conditioning work combines a hot flame, a pressurised system and plant that usually sits on a roof. Each of those needs its own control, and the document keeps them together so the brazing permit is not forgotten because the access took all morning.

Frequently asked questions
Why is nitrogen used for pressure testing?
Nitrogen is inert and lets the system be tested safely without releasing refrigerant, but it displaces oxygen so ventilation matters in enclosed plant rooms.
Does brazing need a hot work permit?
Yes. It is an open flame, so it is treated as hot work with combustible clearance, extinguisher provision and a fire watch afterwards.
