H2S Alive-effects on your body

Hydrogen Sulphide gas or H2S is a dangerous because we cannot see, hear, taste, touch or smell it in when it has accumulated in lethal concentrations.

1ppm/0.0001% we can smell it
10ppm/0.001% Occupational exposure limit, beyond this amount you must wear breathing protection. At this amount you will smell rotten eggs, the characteristic smell of H2S.
20ppm/0.002% to 200pm/0.02% we begin to lose our sense of smell, the gas will make you nauseated, dizzy, and it will burn your eyes, skin and throat.
200ppm/0.02% to 500ppm/0.05% all the previous effects and the gas will build up in your blood stream and make you unconscious after an hour or so.
500pm/0.05% to 700ppm/0.07% all the previous effects and unconsciousness will occur in just minutes.
700ppm/0.07% One breath of H2S at this concentration will make you unconscious. Death will occur within 4-6 minutes once you stop breathing.

This topic is covered in our weekly H2S Alive training course.

Safety=risk management

Ideally we could be safe by avoiding risk activities, however our industrial environments cannot completely be stripped of risk! Therefore we must manage risk. Here is one of my colleagues practicing risk management!

New H2S Alive course

Starting monday November 21 2011, we will be offering H2S training every second Monday in addition to our weekly H2S course offered each Wednesday.

H2S Alive

The hazards of working around H2S has been widely know and published since the start of the extraction of modern day “rock oil” or “oil” as we call it today. In 1978 when the H2S Alive course was originally created, 8 workers per year would die from the gas in the Alberta Oil Patch (source Enform).

Today all western Canadian Oilfield workers must take H2S Alive training to make themselves aware of the risks and controls needed around H2S. The course also contains a CPR and rescue component.
