Posted By DRobertson I have been thrown in the deep end by my current employer to teach guys in the work place about H2s and if I don't do it then kn ow one will and someone will get hurt. But have done search after search and can find accredited courses but can't find any Instructors/Trainers courses. can anyone tell me of a H2s train the trainer provider within the UK?

Posted By Phil Rose I am not quite sure what you mean by teaching them about H2S! Teaching them 'abut' H2S is straightforward enough but more important is what industry you are in for people to be exposed to it? If you are talking about a confined spaces/sewage works/treatment scenario then I suggest that your people need confined spaces training and there are quite a few providers of this who will cover gas risks and monitoring including H2S. Incidentally I haven't got my confined spaces stuff with me but I am pretty sure that above certain concentrations H2S becomes undetectable by smell.

Posted By D H D - certainly something you should consider - Did I train them - did they come across H2S - did they survive?? Have you tested the people who are going to be exposed for their ability to smell the gas at 5ppm? As my ability to smell it has gone due to long term exposure to low levels. As you are aware in a drilling scenario, you could hit the gas quickly and in major concentration. Make sure the rig monitoring stations are working well - make the people aware that they can die quickly if not following training. And if in any doubt about your ability to alert these people - please stay away from it? Get an external trainer in and sit on the course - gather the information until you are happy to do this. Where are you drilling? Dave
