Course Overview

This comprehensive IADC H2S Safe training course provides participants with essential knowledge and practical skills required for safe operations in hydrogen sulfide environments and emergency response procedures. The course covers fundamental H2S hazard principles along with advanced techniques for detection, protection, and emergency response in oil and gas operations.


Participants will learn to apply Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) methodologies and industry best practices to ensure safe H2S operations throughout drilling and production activities. This course combines theoretical concepts with practical applications and real-world scenarios to ensure participants gain valuable skills applicable to their professional environment while emphasizing worker safety and emergency preparedness.

Key Learning Objectives
