Course overview
Hydrogen sulfide occurs naturally in the environment. It is found in petroleum products such as natural gas and crude oil. Exposure levels to hydrogen sulfide must be closely monitored to protect those who work around the toxic and flammable gas. Workers must understand emergency procedures to follow if hydrogen sulfide is released. The Hydrogen Sulfide Awareness training course describes common warning signs, health effects, and personal protection requirements related to hydrogen sulfide exposure. It explains hydrogen sulfide properties and permissible exposure limits. Hydrogen Sulfide Awareness is part of the Hazardous Materials Safety training series.
