Hydrogen Sulfide

Hydrogen sulfide is a naturally-occurring yet potentially poisonous gas that can lead to injury and death to those exposed to it. By using this online course, emergency response teams will learn the basic properties of hydrogen sulfide, the hazards of this gas, safe work practices, and tactics for how to handle emergency situations dealing with hydrogen sulfide exposure.

Emergency response workers will understand the types of hydrogen sulfide exposures and how to respond to leaks and spills. Even though hydrogen sulfide is considered stable, it does have reactivity hazards with oxidizers and alkaline materials, which can cause fires. Hydrogen sulfide is highly flammable and workers will learn how to contain these types of situations.

This online training course also discusses how hydrogen sulfide affects the environment and people. Techniques for controlling a flow and cleaning after a spill or contamination are illustrated. Knowing how to monitor this gas and how to react to any exposures will help ensure a safe working environment and an efficient response should an incident occur.
