Re: fridge venting.
Any safety relief pipes should discharge to a safe place, be this at ground level or a roof level.
The discharging liquid or gas should not be directed where someone can get hurt from the discharge.
Also it must not go into a enclosed or dangerous space.Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Re: fridge venting.
YES! Big problem.
The PRV vents the entire system should there be a dangerous increase in pressure. Putting it back in the suction will do more harm than good.
The OP is in the UK.
Brian had it right, but the route and exit point of the vent pipe should be documented.
The Chapter and Verse, should you need it, is in EN 378, the European standard on refrigeration safety.
