H2S / Scba Course

H2S: H2S or Hydrogen Sulphide represents a serious risk to the human lives. Constant awareness is required while working in an environment exposed to the risk of the poisonous gas H2S.

Characteristics of H2S is colorless, highly flammable and a highly toxic gas. H2S is a common by-product found in many different industries.

SCBA: A self-contained breathing apparatus or SCBA is sometimes called a single breathing apparatus (ASB) or a compressed air breathing apparatus (CABA). SBA is a device which provides breathable air in an "Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health" atmosphere (IDLH) worn by rescue workers, fire-fighters, and others.

Today, the Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) has become an integral part of a firefighter's PPE and quite possibly, it is the single most beneficial piece of safety equipment. As the scope of the fire service has broadened this fundamental piece of respiratory protection has proved its usefulness. Apart to the SCBA's use in structural firefighting, it plays an vital role in technical rescue, confined space, and hazardous-materials incidents.
