Course Overview
This H2S Awareness online course is designed for workers in the Oil & Gas industry who may be exposed to Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) gas. Upon successful completion of the online examination with a minimum score of 80%, participants receive an industry-recognized certificate valid for 3 years.
This course meets the awareness training requirements outlined under both Canadian and United States occupational health and safety regulations.
Please note: This is an online awareness course. Site-specific and hands-on practical training (such as SCBA donning) must be completed separately through an in-person H2S Alive program.
