Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a very toxic gas. H2S binds to an important enzyme in cells in the human body so that these cells cannot produce energy and cause death in humans.

H2S causes serious health problems:
- Hard to breathe
- Irritation to eyes and skin
- Body disorders: The victim feels weak
- Digestive disorders: The victim feels nauseous and then vomits
- Head disorders: Headache and dizziness
- Seizures
- Death

H2S can be found at:
- Sewerage, including septic tanks
- Waste Water Treatment Installation
- Areas that produce oil and gas
- All factories (paper mills, steel and others)
- Volcanic area
- Places to decompose organic materials
- Basement

Some ways to protect yourself from H2S:
- Always be aware of all areas you visit, because H2S can be everywhere
- Use PPE when working in areas where H2S may be present, such as Confined Spaces and others
- Use a Gas Detector
- Leave the place immediately if there is a suspicious smell

Warning: No drug can treat H2S. If you are exposed to H2S, seek medical help immediately to prevent death!

Fire

Warning: Fire is fire! No matter how small a fire, fire is a very dangerous and detrimental emergency!

Small fires can be very dangerous because:
- It's difficult to see and smell, especially if a small fire occurs in a messy room, behind items and there is smoke from other sources in the area
- It's difficult to detect, so it is too late to extinguish
- It spreads quickly, especially if there are flammable materials nearby
- It's uncontrollable
- It produces a lot of toxic smoke (a mixture of gases and particles released when something burns), making it difficult to see and breathe

Here are some tips for staying safe from small fires:
- Have a Smoke Detector
- Have a Fire Extinguisher and read the instructions carefully so that everyone can use it correctly in an emergency
- Know how to put out fires
- Have a Fire Rescue Plan and Evacuation Plan and practice regularly escaping from the source of fire so everyone knows what to do in an emergency

Prevent and handle fires by taking the right training! If you are the owner of a house, apartment, shop, small company and others, take the right training so you can save your property and yourself.

Drones For Safety And Surveillance

How can Drones be used for security and surveillance? Drones can help to:
- Conduct patrols in a large area
- Provide a wide perimeter view
- Prevent "intruders" by detecting suspicious activity
- Track specific targets (individuals and vehicles), so that the Security Team can monitor potential security threats
- Search for lost people and objects in hard-to-reach areas
- Monitor critical infrastructure (power plants, dams, and pipelines) to prevent accidents
- Monitor wildlife populations and track their movements to protect endangered species and conserve natural resources
- See in the dark
- Detect hazardous materials (gases)

Some of the challenges that must be faced:
- Drones can be used to collect data about people and this data can be used for malicious purposes
- The use of Drones must comply with applicable regulations so that it can complicate the deployment of Drones in some areas
- Drones usage may be affected by weather conditions (wind and rain) and this can hinder the Drones' work and reduce the quality of data collected
