H2S gas training

My dad has had this training when he worked for Chevron (25+ yrs). I don't know a whole lot about it. But, isn't it the gas you really can't smell (unless they "taint" it like natural gas is) and will knock you out or possibly kill?

I had some basic training when I was delivering things into the Chevron Refinery. All it basically was for me was the special warning horn sound, walk away from the wind, pay attention to the windsocks, and where to find the nearest cluster areas for head counts. But Im sure your class will be more indepth than that.

The chances of someone in my company coming in contact with H2S gas is slim to none. Its prodominant in already finished wells I.e. Workover rigs etc.
I lay out the drillings pads and lease roads, the only time I see the location after I've done that is to verify its in the correct location, before the drilling rig is even there.

The chances of coming into contact with a lethal dose of H2S, 500 ppm to 2000 ppm, is extremely unlikely outdoors, only slightly moreso indoors.
