(Energy Safety Canada)  H2S ALIVE COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The H2S Alive Course was developed through a collaboration of industry professionals and subject matter experts representing geophysical, oil and gas and petroleum contractors and associations across Canada. 

H2S or Hydrogen Sulphide is a naturally occurring gas. It is often referred to as sour gas, acid gas, stink damp or sulphured hydrogen. H2S is colourless, heavier-than-air in its pure state, and extremely toxic! In low concentrations, it has a rotten egg smell and causes eye and throat irritation. H2S can deaden your sense of smell. at higher concentrations, it can cause death.

​For these reasons training in how to protect yourself is crucial in any industry where H2S might be encountered.
NOTE: Government issued photo ID must be presented to obtain entry to the program.
