Working With Hydrogen Sulphide

This one-day course is designed to meet the new OPITO Industry Standard 2001 for working safely in an IDLH atmosphere. The course also meets ANSI Z390.1-1995, Shell Document EP95-0317 and ISGOTT requirements.

The course will provide the participant offshore with the additional knowledge, skills and appropriate attitudes to enable identification and management of H2S hazards in accordance with a Slickline/Conductorline, Work-over, and Drilling H2S Management Plan.

Course topics and activities include:

• Properties and sources of H2S
• Toxicity Levels
• Acute and Chronic effects of exposure
• H2S effects on metals and elastomers
• Risk Management
• H2S Gas Detection including fixed and portable systems, their advantages and limitations
• Respiratory Protection to include types of SCBA, cascade breathing air systems, their advantages and limitations
• Rescue and First Aid of H2S Casualties
• H2S Emergency Procedures during, Drilling,Workover and Wireline Operations
• Contingency plan/ Station bill philosophy and description
  Detection and Protection Equipment Overview
• Practical sessions with 30-Minute SCBA
• Practical sessions with 10/ 15 Minute SCBA
• Practical sessions with portable gas detection devices
• Using the Cascade System, connecting, disconnecting combined SAR /SCBA
• Competency based assessments made using approved OPITO method

 

Learning Outcome

On completion of this course the learner will be able to identify the properties and sources of H2S and Sulphur Dioxide as well as learn how to manage the risk of exposure. The learner will be able to operate a personal H2S monitor in accordance with the procedures.

The learner will be able to inspect, store, don, and use the breathing apparatus, supplied for training purposes, in accordance with the procedures. The learner will be able to identify their emergency procedures according to a management plan during an H2S emergency.

 

Delivery

Delivery will consist of classroom theory and practical exercises. This will allow for total integration of competence, knowledge, thinking skills, and correct procedures. Competency assessment for this unit will consist of a knowledge and skills assessment based on classroom material and practical exercises.
