Course Overview
Part 1 of this two-part course describes hydrogen sulfide (known as H2S) and emphasizes the critical rules of H2S safety. Any worker who has the potential to be exposed to H2S at or above the Threshold Limit Value of 10 parts per million in an 8 hour workday must receive this training prior to working in that environment and on an annual basis thereafter. Part 2 of this two-part course identifies how you can detect, monitor and protect yourself from hydrogen sulfide (H2S). This course also addresses H2S contingency and emergency response plans.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Properties and characteristics of hydrogen sulfide
- Exposure limits and toxic levels of hydrogen sulfide
- Safe hydrogen sulfide work procedures
- Effects of hydrogen sulfide exposure
- Hydrogen sulfide detection and protection
- Contingency and emergency response plans for hydrogen sulfide release
