Basic H2S




H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide) is a gas that can be created by natural #biological processes or by human activities & is a serious threat to people or assets due to its highly #toxic & corrosive nature.


The Oil & Gas Industry is an environment that has the potential to be exposed to H2S. One example is: When personnel inhale H2S, the H2S will directly enter the lungs & bloodstream. In small amounts of H2S, the personnel's body can protect itself by oxidizing (decomposing) H2S as quickly as possible into harmless compounds. However, if the personnel inhale more H2S, then the H2S that cannot be processed by the body will accumulate in the blood & poison the body.


Therefore, personnel who work in the Oil & Gas Industry must be able to handle #emergency that occurs due to H2S by having the necessary knowledge & understanding as follows:

- Knowing about #Hydrogen Sulfide #Gas & its dangers

- Knowing about exposure & its physiological effects

- Using equipment to detect #H2S

- Using breathing apparatus

- Taking appropriate action to deal with emergencies when H2S-related incidents occur
