Customer Reviews

9 Questions Answered

It was a good training. Now that I am working in a situation where there is a possibility for me to be exposed to H2S gases, I was happy to learn what OSHA says about hydrogen sulfide and how to be prepared in the case of a disaster occurring.

Jeff Morrison, Assistant Manager - Oil Refining Operations

The lessons helped me to clearly understand the hazards of hydrogen sulfide and how to prepare myself for any H2S gas leaks while at work.

Roger Deanson, Supervisor Mining Operations

Engaging course and the animations to explain some of the key points were very helpful.

Chad Baker, Petrochemical Engineer

"I usually don't like wearing a mask when I'm at work, but my hydrogen sulfide training taught me the importance of wearing one without putting my life in unnecessary danger by not following simple safety rules. A good course!"

Paul Bryan, Loader Operator

"My co-worker suggested that I take the H2S course from HAZWOPER OSHA. It only took me 4 hours to finish it but the best part was that the course covered all the important safety points."

Gary Joseph, System Repair technician

"I needed to have my hydrogen sulfide training certificate before I could begin working. I'm really happy to have received my training certificate from HAZWOPER OSHA as I now know that I am ready to face the dangers at my work site."

Overview

OSHA Hydrogen Sulfide Awareness Training is designed to provide general information and guidelines to workers who may be exposed to hydrogen sulfide in the workplace in accordance with OSHA’s General Duty Clause and ANSI/ASSP Z390.1-2017 which sets forth accepted practices for hydrogen sulfide training programs.

Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is a colorless, highly flammable, and extremely hazardous gas with a characteristic, pungent “rotten egg” odor. Hydrogen sulfide is produced naturally by decaying organic matter and is released from sludge, liquid manure, sulfur hot springs, and natural gas. It is used in several industrial processes and is produced as a by-product during oil refining, mining, and rayon manufacturing. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic substance; therefore, adequate training and knowledge are of prime importance when working with or around sources of hydrogen sulfide.

This online training program provides participants with an understanding of the dangers associated with hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and the skills and confidence to work safely in environments where H₂S may be present. The program teaches participants how to identify H₂S, how to avoid exposure, and what to do if they are exposed.

The program is designed for anyone who may be exposed to H₂S, including:

  • Offshore and onshore oil rig workers
  • Ship and vessel workers
  • Mine workers
  • Construction workers
  • Food processing factory workers
The program is delivered online and can be completed at the participant's own pace. The program includes interactive exercises, videos, and quizzes.

Upon completion of the program, participants will be able to:

  • Identify H₂S
  • Avoid exposure to H₂S
  • Respond to an H₂S emergency
The program is a valuable resource for anyone who may be exposed to H₂S. It provides participants with the knowledge and skills they need to work safely in H₂S-containing environments.

After completion of the OSHA Hydrogen Sulfide Awareness Training course, the learner will be able to:

  • Explain the characteristics of hydrogen sulfide and the natural and industrial sources of the gas;
  • Describe the safety and health hazards associated with hydrogen sulfide exposure;
  • Outline the occupational exposure limits for hydrogen sulfide recommended by various organizations;
  • Discuss the symptoms associated with acute and chronic exposure to hydrogen sulfide;
  • Discuss the significance of medical surveillance for employees working in potentially hazardous conditions;
  • Explain the Hierarchy of Controls and its application in reducing occupational exposure to hydrogen sulfide;
  • Discuss the requirements of personal monitoring and continuous area monitoring programs; and
  • Summarize the essential elements of a contingency plan and the first-aid procedures required for specific exposures to hydrogen sulfide.

Course Content
Lessons

OSHA Hydrogen Sulfide Awareness Training: Introduction

Lesson 1: Hydrogen Sulfide – An Overview

This lesson will explain the characteristics of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and the natural and industrial sources of the H₂S gas, describe the safety and health hazards of hydrogen sulfide, how H₂S amalgamates with the environment, and outline the occupational exposure limits of hydrogen sulfide as recommended by various safety organizations.

Lesson 2: Hydrogen Sulfide – A Health Hazard

This lesson will summarize how hydrogen sulfide enters the body and its biological pathway once inside the body, discuss the acute and chronic health effects associated with hydrogen sulfide exposure, explain the effects of hydrogen sulfide on various organs and systems of the human body, and the importance of medical surveillance in protecting the health and well-being of employees working in potentially hazardous work conditions.

Lesson 3: Air Monitoring

This third lesson will describe the Hierarchy of Controls and its application in reducing occupational exposure to hydrogen sulfide, explain the importance of air monitoring in controlling H₂S exposure, discuss the requirements of personal monitoring and continuous area monitoring programs, and explain the three types of detectors used for monitoring hydrogen sulfide in the workplace.

Lesson 4: Hazard Controls

This lesson focuses on hazard control procedures when working in and around hydrogen sulfide. The lesson will explain the engineering controls used to protect employees from hydrogen sulfide exposure; describe the administrative controls used by employers to reduce the frequency, duration, and severity of H₂S exposure, summarize the personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements for workers with potential exposure to hydrogen sulfide; and expound on the procedures and safe work practices for entering confined spaces.

Lesson 5: Contingency Plans and Emergency Procedures

This lesson will explain the importance of precautions and control measures to prevent exposure to hydrogen sulfide and the emergencies that should be anticipated and planned for in advance due to the extremely toxic nature of the hydrogen sulfide gas. The lesson will define the term contingency plan, describe the essential elements of a contingency plan that must be developed for emergencies relating to a release of the H₂S gas, explain the roles and responsibilities of essential and non-essential employees during an emergency, and describe the emergency procedures relating to specific exposures to hydrogen sulfide.
