Hydrogen Sulphide Safety (H2S) training enables the participant to work safely in any environment that may contain this gas. It includes a wide range of topics related to properties, hazards, health effects, and necessary precautions for safety.
The participants will be taken through the use of H2S detectors, monitoring levels, use of PPEs, and appropriate ventilation of the workplace. Other emergency responses to be covered in the training include evacuation, first aid, and the use of breathing apparatus during exposure.
The training covers theoretical knowledge and practical exercises, providing hands-on skills to the trainees in identifying the hazards of H2S and applying safety protocols. Such training is necessary for many industries where frequent exposure to H2S occurs; examples include oil and gas, petrochemical, and wastewater management industries.
With highly qualified tutors, Elite Offshore makes sure the training quality is incomparable, enabling participants to be competent in managing H2S-related emergencies and fostering a safer working environment.
What will I learn?
- 1. Explain how hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is formed, where it is found, and recognize other names used to describe the gas.
- 2. Identify the properties and characteristics of H2S, including its odor, density, and flammability.
- 3. Understand the concept of parts per million (ppm) as a measurement parameter and its application in detecting H2S levels.
- 4. Define occupational exposure limits for H2S and recognize factors that affect individual susceptibility to the gas.
- 5. Describe various types of H2S detector equipment and respiratory protection devices.
- 6. Conduct pre-use checks on personal detection devices and escape breathing apparatus (EBA).
- 7. Operate personal H2S detection equipment, including performing functional checks and responding appropriately to alarms.
- 8. Demonstrate the correct donning, operation, and checks of an escape breathing apparatus (EBA) with both a mask and hood, achieving this within 30 seconds.
- 9. Connect and disconnect safely from a pressurized cascade breathing system while using a correctly donned and activated EBA.
- 10. Apply learned skills in responding effectively to H2S alarms and emergencies, ensuring personal safety and the safety of others.
- Age Requirement: Participants must generally be at least 18 years old.
- Basic Literacy: Ability to read and understand course materials and instructions in the language of instruction.
- Medical Fitness: A medical check may be required to ensure participants are fit to use safety equipment like breathing apparatus.
- Target Participants: Personnel working in the offshore oil and gas industry, workers on land rigs, staff in petrochemical processing plants, refineries, and wastewater treatment facilities, municipal workers such as drainage cleaners & any individuals exposed to environments where H2S gas may be encountered.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): In some cases, participants might need to bring their own PPE, depending on the training provider.
- Prior Knowledge (Optional): Some courses may recommend basic awareness of workplace safety protocols, though this is not always mandatory.
