H2S Hydrogen Sulphide Safety

Course details

All petroleum industry jobsites are potential locations of the gas. To predict likely locations of H2S, you first need to be aware of the physical properties of the gas itself. What it is like and how it behaves provide general clues about potentially hazardous situations. This type of information can then be used to avoid exposure, injury and possible death.

Course Objective:

On completion of this course the candidate will be able to identify the properties, sources and hazards of H2S and, given a case study, apply the seven-step Initial Response Strategy. Candidates will also be able to identify the major components of self-contained and supplied air breathing apparatus and be able to put on an SCBA. The candidate will also be given familiarity with a hand-held detector tube device and know the limitations of its use. In addition candidates will also be able to correctly perform rescue drags and carries, and CPR using a mannequin.

Target Audience:

People who are required to test an atmosphere to ascertain if it is safe to enter and work in.
