To provide the trainees with knowledge and understanding of Hydrogen Sulphide Gas and Sulphur dioxide and their properties. This include Introducing and demonstrating the different methods used to monitor and detect H2S presence in the atmosphere.
Objectives
To ensure personnel can recognize, evaluate, and safely manage hazards related to hydrogen sulfide gas, specifically by understanding its properties, detecting its presence, using of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE), and executing prompt emergency.
Essential Components
Occupational health effects of exposure to Hydrogen Sulphide and Sulphur dioxide on the human body.
Personal and general safety precautions and personal protective equipment required when working in H₂S designated areas.
Emergency escape procedures that must demonstrate the correct response to an H₂S emergency situation.
The correct use of Escape RPE in a typical emergency scenario.
Critical signs and symptoms of H2S and SO2 exposure.
The measurement and the occupational/workplace exposure limits of H2S and SO2.
Physiological effects of exposure to H2S and SO2.
Types of gas detection systems.
Facility area classification.
The sound of H2S alarms. Please note: The sounds are varied from one device to another and the differences between alarms and detectors.
Emergency procedure.
Importance of Emergency Response (ER) planning, training and drills.
Target Population
All personnel working in potential Hydrogen Sulfide exposure areas, particularly in the oil and gas, petrochemical, and wastewater industries. Target audiences include workers on offshore platforms, drilling crews, refinery technicians, maintenance teams and contractors who may enter hazardous, sour gas environments.
