The Hydrogen Sulfide Awareness course is essential for oil and gas workers who work around, or may be exposed to, Hydrogen Sulfide gas.
The objectives of this 2-hour OSHA Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Awareness (2-hour OSHA H2S Awareness Online) course are to meet the Federal OSHA training requirements of 29 CFR 1910 and 1926, as well as state OSHA regulations. We also address the training objectives for Canada WHMIS and CCOHS.

Training in equipment use and procedures should be provided by your employer and specific to your worksite.
