  • 8.4 If your site experiences an H2S emergency that requires emergency response, these are the actions you should take (select each to acknowledge understanding):
  • 8.5 First-Aid (select each to acknowledge you reviewed this material):

  • 9.0 Exposure Limits

  • 9.1 The Permissible Exposure Limit (P.E.L.) to H2S is 10 PPM (select each to acknowledge understanding):
  • 9.2 The main byproduct of an H2S fire is Sulfur Dioxide or SO2 (select each to acknowledge understanding):

  • 10.0 Respiratory Protection & Safety Equipment

  • 10.1: Hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) poses an exceptionally high risk for industrial workers, especially those in the oil and natural gas industry. Oil fields rich in sulfur and H2S can lead to contamination of the ambient air, causing health problems or even fatalities. Given the health hazards caused by H2S, it is of the utmost importance to select a respirator that allows for appropriate protection based on the work environment you are in.

  • 10.2: NIOSH, OSHA, and ACGIH guidelines and standards were developed to protect workers from this life-threatening gas and other worksite hazards, George Bunker expects their contractors to meet the requirements of these standards and regulations. This is especially critical when workers find themselves in hazardous environments, such as sour gas-containing oil fields. Therefore, it is expected that George bunker, as well as contract companies, conduct their own risk assessments and testing, beyond implementing baseline industry measures. This will help to ensure we are maximizing worker safety through the proper tools and education, which will coincide with the minimization of incidental H2S exposure.

  • 11.2 Confined spaces include, but are not limited to
  • 11.3 For work within confined spaces use appropriate procedures for identifying hazards, monitoring and entering confined spaces.
  • 11.4 OSHA’s Confined Spaces standard contains specific requirements for identifying, monitoring and entering confined spaces. DO NOT enter a confined space without the proper training!
