H2S

If you work in the Oil & Gas Industry & other industries that have low-lying areas & confined spaces, get ready to meet the most flammable & toxic gas called Hydrogen Sulfide or H2S!

H2S can disturb your work, make you feel sick & kill you!

H2S can cause:

- Irritation of eyes, nose & throat

- Cough, dizziness & nausea

- Severe respiratory problems & loss of coordination

- Loss of sense of smell so that H2S cannot be detected

- Loss of consciousness, respiratory failure & death

- Fire & explosion

- Damage to metal & iron

- Environmental damage

Equipment that needs to be used:

- H2S detector

- Adequate ventilation

- PPE

Knowledge: OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit) & WEL (Workplace Exposure Limit) are terms used to determine the maximum limit / size of substances, including H2S, that are permitted in the workplace to protect the health of workers.

You need to be aware of the hazards & risks associated with H2S. The most important thing is that you must know how to react to H2S!

Get the right knowledge & skills, so emergencies can be avoided & handled properly!
