Who is the Course Aimed At?

This course is designed for individuals performing tasks involving potential exposure to hydrogen sulfide (H2S), in environments where it may be present due to the decomposition of organic matter. These locations include:

- confined spaces

- oil and gas fields

- sewer systems,

- sewage treatment plants

Course Goal

The goal of the course is to acquire basic knowledge of safety principles when working in an environment where there is a possibility of exposure to hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

Training Description:

Participants will gain knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), including its toxic, explosive, and corrosive effects. The course covers managing and preventing poisoning incidents. Delegates will practice responding to emergency situations and evacuations using escape sets and connecting them to the cascade system at the muster point.

Qualifications Obtained:

● Understanding of the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen sulfide

● Procedures for responding to an increased H2S concentration in the air

● Procedures for managing poisoning incidents

● Knowledge of different escape sets and personal protective equipment, including their proper use

● Knowledge of different H2S monitoring devices and their correct usage 

Course Completion Confirmation:

The certificate is approved by the international organization OPITO and is recognized worldwide, authorizing individuals to work on offshore installations in the oil and gas industry.

Please note that some companies may require additional or specialized certification to meet their internal competency standards. Vulcan Training strongly recommends checking specific competency or training requirements with the operator before booking a course. While Vulcan can provide guidance on general certification requirements for various geographic regions, additional training may be necessary based on local or company-specific guidelines.
