H2S Training

HYDROGEN SULFIDE GAS (H2S) is a toxic, poisonous gas that is a growing concern in the oil field industry. New fields are being developed and oil fields are being treated in areas where H2S can be expected to increase your probability of exposure. Miners, sewer maintenance crews and blasters also fear this deadly gas.  Federal and State laws are being implemented which demand greater caution since H2S is considered a leading cause of sudden death in the work place.  Death and injury from H2S exposure are unnecessary. The equipment, training, techniques and procedures to protect yourself and your fellow employees are available.

The purpose of this course is to provide you with basic information you need to know when working in known or suspected H2S areas.

The subjects that are covered in this class include:
