The Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) Awareness Training course is
designed to equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills required
to recognize, evaluate, and respond to the presence of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) in the workplace. H₂S is a highly toxic and flammable gas
commonly encountered in oil and gas operations, wastewater treatment, mining,
and other industrial settings. This course emphasizes hazard identification,
risk mitigation, and safe work practices to protect personnel from potential
exposure.
Participants will gain an understanding of
the physical and chemical properties of H₂S, the health effects of exposure,
detection methods, and appropriate emergency response procedures, including
escape and rescue. The training aligns with international best practices and
regulatory requirements, such as those from OSHA, NIOSH, and API.
