H2S Alive is the Hydrogen Sulphide Certification Standard employers require to hire staff within the petroleum industry in Canada. The Enform H2S program is designed and intended for anybody who is now working, or who would like to work in the oil and gas sector anywhere in Canada. Corporations in the mainstream gas and oil industry recognize the 8-hour Enform H2S Alive program as sufficient training for companies that require contractors and workers to have safety training in Hydrogen Sulphide. H2S Alive is the REAL certification required to work in the Oil and Gas sector (Petroleum Industry) across Canada and is recognized around the world.

Other industries may also require workers to have this certification to take proper care and show due diligence with their staff. Preparing staff to distinguish the hazards of H2S, to protect themselves and to perform basic rescue in any H2S related incident are the objectives of Enform H2S Alive.

The course is a combination of theory and practical applications. Each and every student learns to utilize breathing apparatus, detector tube devices and to perform rescue techniques along with Hazard Awareness and learning to use a Risk Matrix.

The newest H2S Alive course, 7th Edition, includes sections on:

• H2S Locations
• Initial Response Strategy
• Supplied Air Breathing Apparatus or SABA
• Properties of H2S
• Health Hazards
• Approved Respiratory Protective Equipment
• Operating Detector Tube Devices
• SCBA or Self Contained Breathing Apparatus
• Hazard Awareness
• Risk Matrix
• Electronic Monitors
• Rescue Techniques
• After-Use Inspection of Breathing Apparatus
• Case Studies
• Wearing and Operating Breathing Apparatus

Practical exams are given to prove effective learning. The trainee should show competency with all of the equipment. Each and every piece has to be shown and there is a following short answer written exam. Students who accomplish the class requirements successfully receive a wallet sized, temporary 90 day certificate. Around 8 weeks afterward, Enform sends a plasticized card that is valid for 3 years.
