Trinidad and Tobago, via the National Ozone Unit (NOU) within the Environmental Policy and Planning Division (EPPD) of the Ministry of Planning and Development has made efforts to implement the Montreal Protocol through public awareness, legislation and providing training for the Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning (RAC) sector.
The Unit sought to continue efforts to enhance the RAC sector by holding stakeholder engagement sessions on the National Guidelines for the RAC Sector of Trinidad and Tobago. These guidelines are designed to define standards, good RAC practices, improve safety quality, act as a resource document for training technicians and facilitate the transition from Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) to non-ODS refrigeration technology. Its ultimate goal is to enable the reduction and elimination of ODS consumption in Trinidad and Tobago.
There were three (3) sessions held in both Trinidad and in Tobago:
- Magdalena Grand Hotel, Lowlands, Tobago - August 6, 2015
- Arthur Lok Jack GSB, Mount Hope, Trinidad - August 11, 2015
- Cara Suites, Claxton Bay, Trinidad - August 13, 2015
The stakeholder engagement sessions were intended to solicit feedback from persons within the Sector on the draft Guidelines. The document has been amended incorporating comments received from these sessions and is currently awaiting approval.
