H2S IS COLOURLESS
Therefore, leaks cannot be seen. In windy weather, H2S moves
as an invisible cloud, usually in the direction the wind is
blowing.
H2S IS CORROSIVE
When H2S combines with moisture in the air, it forms a
corrosive acid that degrades the integrity of metal equipment.
Dangerous leaks can result when this acid corrodes the metal
of pipes, valves, tanks, and other equipment.
DETECTION
Continuous Gas Monitors
Personal H2S Monitor.

Always follow your organizations safety
procedures, and be ready to respond in the event
of an emergency.
When you work around H2S, it is critical that you
think before you act. Theres simply no room for
error.
