Purpose

This training course is designed to provide participants with an understanding of the hazards associated with hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) and the knowledge required to work safely in environments where this toxic gas may be present. It is intended for seafarers and offshore personnel who may be exposed to H₂S during their work. The course covers the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen sulphide, its potential health effects, methods of hazard identification, appropriate protective measures, and fundamental emergency response and rescue principles. This is an independent training designed to follow OPITO framework (not OPITO approved).

Content

• H2S regulations
• Common Sources Of H2s
• Physical Properties of H2S
• Where can be found H2s
• H2s and Its Effects On Humans
• working with H2S at the location
• Precautions to follow when working with H2S
• Methods of detecting and monitoring H2S
• Exposure Signs & Symptoms
• Respiratory Protective Equipment
• Operation and maintenance of breathing apparatus
• Rescue

• Contingency Plans - Muster / Safe Haven locations

Objectives

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be able to recognise potential H₂S hazards, understand the risks associated with exposure to toxic atmospheres, and apply appropriate measures to minimise exposure. They will also gain an understanding of gas detection, the correct use and limitations of personal protective equipment, emergency procedures, and the importance of following established safety protocols. Particular emphasis is placed on recognising potentially dangerous conditions, responding appropriately to H₂S alarms, and understanding that rescue attempts must only be undertaken by properly trained and equipped personnel to avoid further casualties.
