Description
This one-day course is intended for all workers in the petroleum industry who could be exposed to hydrogen sulphide (H
2S). The primary focus is to provide generic H
2S course content to help workers work safely in and around H
2S environments. The course covers the physical properties and health hazards of H
2S, how to protect oneself and basic rescue techniques. Each student is required to operate a self-contained breathing apparatus and a detector tube device, and to perform CPR and rescue lift and drag exercises.
The course runs every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday in Calgary, and every Tuesday and Friday in Nisku. Courses scheduled for holidays will be rescheduled within the same week.
