This H2S Training Program is ideal for individuals who require H2S Training as a pre-requisite to employment and for businesses that require a simple and accessible solution for training their employees. H2S Training is required in many industries including oil & gas, water treatment and seismic.
This Online H2S Training Course will guide you through all aspects of H2S including: H2S Hazards, industrial applications, natural occurrence, worker and employer responsibilities, assessing H2S hazards, how to detect H2S, health effects of H2S exposure, hazard controls, personal protective equipment, treatment, and rescue procedures. This course will explain in detail what you need to know to remain safe around H2S, emphasize key points and test your knowledge retention after each module.
This training program is intended to be completed entirely online. Depending on your duties or workplace hazards, hands-on equipment training such as mask fit testing and bump testing with specific equipment, or site-specific training such as evacuation and emergency response procedures for your workplace may be required. Please contact us for more information or to arrange supplementary or hands-on training.
