H2S Alive Certification for Oil, Gas & Industrial Workers

This course by Energy Safety Canada, H2S Alive for Alberta worksites, teaches workers how to safely operate in hydrogen sulphide (H2S) environments. H2S, also known as sour gas, acid gas, stink damp, or sulphurated hydrogen, is a naturally occurring gas. It is colorless, heavier than air when pure, and extremely toxic, capable of dulling the sense of smell. At low levels, it emits a foul odor resembling rotten eggs and can lead to eye and throat irritation. In high concentrations, it poses a risk of fatality.

For these reasons, training to protect yourself is crucial in any industry where H2S might be encountered. This course provides participants with the skills and knowledge to help them identify and detect H2S, mitigate the hazards of working in an H2S environment, and respond to an incident involving an H2S release. It includes both theory and practical application exercises.
