Employees can work safely in areas where the potential of hydrogen sulfide exists by following their organization's Hydrogen Sulfide Contingency Plan, knowing how and when to use respiratory protection and knowing the meaning of their facility's hydrogen sulfide warning sounds and signals. This program reviews these three key issues and many other precautions that protect employees from H2S exposures when followed.
Topics include characteristics of hydrogen sulfide, symptoms of H2S exposure, exposure limits, use of respiratory protection, confined space entry, warning devices and monitoring systems, evacuation procedures and safety tips for working in H2S-prone areas.
