    In many workplaces, there is a hazard present that can occur either as a by-product or as the source from the handling and usage of certain equipment and chemicals. In many workplaces, there is a hazard present that can occur either as a by-product or as the source from the handling and usage of certain equipment and chemicals. In this course, we will be discussing the chemical Hydrogen Sulfide.

     

    What is Hydrogen Sulfide

    Hydrogen is a colorless gas well known for its “rotten egg” type smell. This gas can occur naturally in certain environments or occur from the breakdown of organic materials. Commonly, it can be found in many industrial activities.

     

    Workplace Assessment

    Hydrogen Sulfide can be found in many industrial environments, but also in areas that are considered confined spaces as well. You should always complete a thorough walk-through of your workplace to identify areas that may have a potential for hydrogen sulfide exposure.

     

    Exposure Controls

    During workplace assessments, specific control measures must be implemented to minimize hydrogen sulfide exposure risks, including the use of non-sparking, grounded, and corrosion-resistant ventilation systems. Ongoing employee training is crucial, covering potential hazards, detection equipment, emergency plans, and confined space procedures. Proper rescue procedures, including the use of self-contained breathing apparatus and safety lines, are essential for responding to significant hydrogen sulfide exposure.

     

    Emergency Action Plan

    The frequent cause of injuries involving hydrogen sulfide is second employees attempting rescue. Identification of hydrogen sulfide areas prompts the development of an emergency action plan, covering procedures like respiratory protection, rally points, and scene securing. Understanding walkthrough procedures, conducting drills, and discussing potential hazards are vital for employee preparedness.
