Hydrogen Sulfide Safety (H2S)
Are you working within a lab at the University of Alberta where contact with H2S is possible?
You need to do a proper hazard assessment, (identification and control) of your working environment. See
EHS' HAWApp
.
Please see our
h2s-code-of-practice
outlining the requirements for the use of hydrogen sulfide at the University of Alberta.
Are you working off-campus on a research project in the vicinity where there is possible exposure to H2S?
You need to do a proper hazard assessment, (identification and control) of your working environment. See
EHS' HAWApp
and include with your
Field Activities Plan
before you go to the field site.
If you are working on a particular lease site and collaborating with the company who is involved in the operations, follow their controls, training protocols to comply with access to the site.
Dependent upon your hazard assessment and level of risk identified, you may be required to take an H2S Awareness course or a H2S Alive Course. Both courses are offered by outside providers. Contact the
Field Research Office
for more information.
