H2S Clear for Energy

A meter measures hydrogen sulfide levels on a worksite.

Champion H2S Safety with Training

Hydrogen Sulfide, or H2S, is known as the “Silent Killer” because you can’t see or smell it, and it’s so powerful that it can kill you with just one breath.

Protect your workers with this lifesaving training that teaches how to control the hazard and how workers can protect themselves.

 

H2S Class for Workers in Hydrogen Sulfide Risk Areas

H2S Clear for Energy arms thousands of workers with crucial knowledge of the dangers of H2S and the precautions, tools, and necessary actions for working around rigs, pipelines, refineries, storage tanks, tankers, and terminals.

Protect your workforce and your business today with H2S safety training.

Don’t fall victim to H2S.

Meet H2S – The Silent Killer

The primary method of H2S exposure is through inhalation, where the gas is rapidly absorbed by the lungs. People can sometimes smell the “rotten egg” odor of hydrogen sulfide when lower concentrations of the gas exist. However, after continuous low-level exposure, or with higher concentrations, a person loses his/her ability to smell the gas which means you can NOT rely on your sense of smell to indicate the presence of hydrogen sulfide.
