H2S Recertification

There are many risks working in the oil and gas industries. While there are a range of visible hazards, some of the most dangerous aspects of working in these industries are unseen hazards, like hydrogen sulfide gas. If you work in an industry where the release of hydrogen sulfide is possible, then you need your H2S training certification. If you’ve been in the industry for years and you need to renew your H2S certification, then we can help!

The H2S training certification is valid for one year. After the year is up you will need to take the H2S recertification course to update your certification.

At OSHA Pros LLC, we are proud to provide affordable and practical H2S recertification in a hassle-free and informative online course. This refresher course ensures that you are prepared to identify hydrogen sulfide characteristics and understand the proper safety precautions and procedures to safely deal with hydrogen sulfide gas.

• Recollection of the dangers of hydrogen sulfide gas.
• Understanding where H2S is most likely to be encountered in certain industries.
• Refresher on characteristics of hydrogen sulfide.
• Recalling the impact of the distinct odor released by H2S.
• Hydrogen sulfide exposure limits.
• Education on the negative health effects of H2S.
• Wind direction importance and awareness.
• Recollection of safety precautions in high-risk areas.
• Review of actions to take in the event of an H2S incident.

Dangers of Hydrogen Sulfide

Hydrogen sulfide gas originates from the breakdown of natural resources. Produced by the breakdown of certain plant and animal materials, H2S is often present in areas with low oxygen content such as mines. Exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas can result in immediate fatality when concentrations exceed 500-100 ppm (parts per million). However, high exposure rates are not as common as low exposure rates of 10-500 ppm, especially in the workplace.

Some symptoms of low exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas include:

• Severe Respiratory Irritation
• Headaches & Nausea
• Severe Eye Irritation
• Vomiting & Staggering
