This standard sets forth accepted practices for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) safety training and instruction of affected personnel. It includes, but is not limited to, the following minimum information content: exercises and drills; refresher training; instructor qualification; properties of H2S; sources of H2S; detection methods; selection, use and care of PPE, and rescue techniques and first aid procedures.

Scope: This standard sets forth accepted practices for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) safety training and instruction of affected personnel to include, but not be limited to, the following:

• Minimum informational content of the course
• Recommended exercises and drills
• Refresher training require-ments
• H2S Safety Instructor qualifications
• Properties and characteristics of H2S
• Sources of H2S and areas of potential exposure
• Typical site-specific safe work practices associated with H2S operations
• Detection methods for H2S
• Selection, use and care of personal protective equipment appropriate for atmospheres containing H2S concentrations above the Threshold Limit Valve-Time Weighted Average (TLV-TWA)
• Rescue techniques and first-aid procedures for victims of H2S exposure
