This intensive one-day course provides essential training for working safely in hydrogen sulfide (H2S) environments. Participants will gain critical knowledge and hands-on skills in H2S hazard recognition, detection, and the proper use of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). Aligned with OSHA, API RP 49, and ANSI Z88.2 standards, this training is vital for anyone working in oil & gas, petrochemical, and other industrial settings where H2S exposure is a risk.
Key Learning Objectives: Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Identify the properties, health hazards, and exposure limits of H2S.
- Operate and perform safety checks on SCBA equipment proficiently.
- Use H2S detection and monitoring systems effectively.
- Execute emergency evacuation, rescue, and response protocols.
- Implement safe work practices and understand respiratory protection program requirements.
