Ammonia Leak Prevention and Control in Cold Storages

Ammonia is used abundantly in cold storages and often leaks, causing harm to people and the vegetation in the affected area. Do we have any guidelines to be followed by the cold storage owners regarding leak detection and control measures for mitigating the situation?

Preventive Measures and Facilities

What suitable preventive measures should be followed? What facilities should be installed for minimizing the damage in case of an uncontrolled leak? Any on-site/off-site emergency plans?

Statutory Regulations

What are the statutory regulations?

Answers to these questions will help me in advising a few friends related to cold storage. This will certainly help the cause of safety and environment.
