Hydrogen Sulfide exposure is a huge problem in the oil and gas industries today, with exposure causing sickness or even death Hydrogen Sulfide Training has become a necessity!
Our training course meets training requirements under OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910. 119, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 and ANSI/ASSE Z390.1-2010. Our course is compliant with both OSHA and The American National Standards Institute (ANSI)!
Oil and Gas Safety
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Complete ® - Oil and Gas version is an awareness level (4-Hour) online training course. This course is designed specifically for students that work in the oil and gas industries.
Due to the large number of documented fatalities among workers and would-be rescuers, along with ANSI, we have identified a clear need for specialized training to address the occupational hazards from Hydrogen Sulfide.
This online training was developed to provide students with a comprehensive overview of hydrogen sulfide safety and its effects in the workplace. Increasing your awareness of the occurrence of natural and industrial hydrogen sulfide hazards will better equip you to deal with H2S hazards. This is important because hydrogen sulfide exposure has a high mortality rate.
The H2S Complete Training Course for the Oil and Gas Industry features narrations, module quizzes, multiple student interactions, advanced bookmarking, streaming audio, scenarios, live instructor chat, and a course glossary that are jam-packed with information, key-actions, and terminology to help employees protect themselves and others from the many hazards of Hydrogen Sulfide exposure.
HYDROGEN SULFIDE SAFETY AWARENESS CERTIFICATION: Upon completion, you will receive a Completion Certificate suitable for framing (not a black & white downloaded copy) and a wallet ID card for verification at worksites that require Awareness-level ANSI certification.
The training also provides certification under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 “ Hazard Communications. This comprehensive course covers BOTH standards.
RE-TRAINING REQUIREMENTS: Per ANSI/ASSE Z390.1-2010, Section 6.2: Due to the extreme hazards involved in H2S operations, each individual covered by this standard should be trained annually.
Free Hydrogen Sulfide Comply Check!
As a bonus, this course also includes a copy of Comply-Check: Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), free for download. Comply-Check was designed as both a learning aid and a job aid for the real-world. Each page of Comply-Check features a key topic from the training course, along with important facts, action-items, and terminology.
NOTE: This online course is best suited for students with newer computers with reliably fast internet connection speeds (cable, DSL, wireless cards not recommended). Click on System Requirements below for more details.
Hydrogen Sulfide Background
Hydrogen Sulfide or H2S is a colorless gas known for its rotten egg smell, which is extremely flammable and toxic to people. Exposure to H2S gas can cause headaches, eye irritation, unconsciousness, and even death!
A higher risk of exposure to hydrogen sulfide exists in many major industries, including:
- Oil and Gas Processing & Refining
- Oil and Gas Exploration
- Mining
- Tanning
- Rayon manufacturing
- Pulp and Paper Processing
- Agriculture
- General Industry
- Manufacturing
Oil and Gas Workers with a high risk of exposure include:
Oil and natural gas workers who extract or refine crude oil and natural gas
Wastewater and sanitation workers who clean or maintain sewers or septic tanks
Farmworkers who clean manure storage tanks or work in manure pits
Hydrogen sulfide gas can be human-made or occur naturally in manure, sewers, well water, oil & gas wells, and volcanoes.
Who needs H2S Training?
Anyone in the Oil and Gas industries that come into contact or potentially come into contact with H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide) gas will need this training course!
This industry-specific course is designed for workers involved in:
- Gas and oil exploration
- Gas and oil processing and refining
- Gas and Oil workers who extract crude oil and natural gas
- Gas and oil workers who refine crude oil and natural gas
These workers are all at a higher risk of exposure to hydrogen sulfide while on the job!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is H2S Safety Awareness Training?
H2S Training (Hydrogen Sulfide) teaches the students how to work safely when exposed to hydrogen sulfide gas is possible, proper PPE to wear while working and what to do in case of exposure.
Who is required to have Hydrogen Sulfide Safety Awareness Training?
Anyone who has the potential to be exposed to hydrogen sulfide at work needs this training. Common industries include agriculture, oil, gas, manufacturing, farmers, and wastewater & sanitation.
How often do I need Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Awareness Training?
There is no set standard for refreshing H2S Awareness Training the only time you would have to update the training is if regulations and techniques significantly change.What does hydrogen sulfide do to the body?
Hydrogen Sulfide gas irritates the mucous membranes and respiratory tract, causing headaches, nausea, convulsions, skin/eye irritation, and even death.
What is H2S?
H2S or hydrogen sulfide is a colorless, flammable, poisonous, and corrosive gas commonly found in the drilling/production of crude oil/natural gas, wastewater treatment, and sewers. It can be identified as having a rotten egg smell.
