Course overview
Our Basic H2S Course (Hydrogen Sulphide Safety) prepares participants to recognize and respond appropriately to H2S hazards in workplaces where the gas may be present. The training covers H2S detection and monitoring, personal protective equipment (PPE), workplace ventilation, emergency communication, evacuation procedures, and appropriate first-aid response.
Participants receive practical instruction in the use of H2S detectors and monitoring equipment, along with relevant breathing apparatus and escape equipment such as SCBA and ELSA, where included within the training scope. Practical exercises help participants understand how to identify H2S hazards, follow established safety procedures, and respond effectively during an H2S emergency.
The course is particularly relevant to personnel working in oil & gas, offshore, petrochemical, wastewater treatment, and other industries where H2S exposure may be a workplace hazard.
Through a combination of theoretical instruction and practical exercises, Elite Offshore Pvt Ltd helps participants develop the knowledge and practical skills required for safer working and appropriate emergency response in H2S-risk environments.
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.
