Hydrogen Sulfide Training
Course Description
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is one of the deadliest perils in the oil and gas industry. It is also prevalent in other industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, chemical and sewers. H2S is characterized by a distance, very offensive odor at low concentrations, but it is not detectable at higher levels of concentration because the sense of smell is lost due to the paralyzation of the olfactory nerves. A good training program is the best protection that you can provide for your employees working in this hazardous environment.
Course Compliance Requirements
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and Rule 36 of the Texas Railroad Commission require all employers to provide training for workers in H2S areas. This course requires a yearly refresher, pulmonary function test, fit test, and medical surveillance.
