H2S, or Hydrogen Sulphide, constitutes a serious danger to human lives. Working in an environment exposed to the risk of the poisonous gas H2S, requires constant awareness. Our H2S course is especially designed to provide participants with key competencies in identifying and managing H2S hazards in the workplace.

H2S is colorless, highly flammable and a highly toxic gas, which is a common by-product found in many different industries. Accumulating in low lying areas, it may go unnoticed. In high doses, one breath can kill instantly.

Through a combination of classroom theory and practical exercises, our participants will gain the necessary knowledge in order to behave correctly in a H2S environment including the safe use of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus.
