Target Group: The Target group is personnel that are, or could be, working in an environment
that could become contaminated by H2S Gas
Aims & Objectives
The aims and objectives of the training are to ensure that the delegate gains the required
knowledge and understanding of the particular hazards and properties of H2S, and
appropriate emergency response actions to take should a H2S related incident arise
To successfully complete this training delegates must able to explain:
(1) Hydrogen Sulphide how it is formed and where it is found
(2) Other names used to describe H2S
(3) Properties and characteristics of H2S
(4) Parts per million (PPM) as a measurement parameter
(5) Occupational exposure limits to H2S
(6) Factors affecting individual susceptibility to H2S
(7) Types of detector equipment
(8) Types of respiratory equipment
(9) Pre-use checks of personal detection devices and EBA
