Hydrogen Sulfide Safety in Production Operations instructs operations personnel in the characteristics of Hydrogen Sulfide H2S and its effects on those exposed to it, as well as its impact on material and equipment. The dangers of sulfur dioxide gas SO2, a by-product of H2S, are also discussed. The proper use of H2S safety equipment, including various types of H2S monitors and breathing apparatus, is covered in detail.
