H2S Alive
Course Description
The purpose of this course is to teach workers how to work safely in and around environments containing hydrogen sulphide (H2S), a naturally occurring gas with various names such as sour gas, acid gas, stink damp, or sulphurated hydrogen. H2S is a colorless and extremely toxic gas, heavier than air in its pure form, and can even deaden the sense of smell. At low concentrations, it causes eye and throat irritation with a rotten egg smell, while at high concentrations, it can lead to death.
Given these risks, it is crucial to receive proper training on how to protect oneself when working in industries where H2S may be present. This course provides participants with the knowledge and skills to identify and detect H2S, mitigate hazards when working in an H2S environment, and respond to incidents involving H2S release. The course covers both theoretical and practical exercises to ensure participants gain a thorough understanding of the subject matter.
