Description

Alberta Human Services supports using environmentally friendly products, as long as employers ensure that the health and safety of workers using the products is protected. Alberta has adopted an occupational exposure limit (OEL) of 50 ppm for HCFC-123 as listed in Table 2, Schedule 1 of the OHS Code. In summary, although the HCFC-123 refrigerant may be more environmentally friendly than CFC-11, it is more toxic and poses a greater potential health risk to people working with and around it. Both HCFC-123 and CFC 11 refrigerants are nonflammable.
