About H2S gas:

Hydrogen Sulphide gas is also known as Sour gas, H2S or stink damp.  It is a WHMIS Controlled product that is extremely poisonous to  people  and the public while being a corrosive and toxic air pollutant. It is a deadly killer  with poor warning qualities, making it difficult for workers to locate with their own senses.  As a result, there have been many tragic consequences, causing numerous fatalities in the petroleum industry, pulp and paper mills, barges, pig farms, landfills, waste water treatment plants, and sewers.

This toxic, flammable, explosive and corrosive gas can naturally occur or be part of the manufacturing process and is prevalent in Alberta.

Additional Safety Knowledge

Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Framework

Alberta’s workplace safety system is built on the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the OHS Regulation, and the OHS Code (which contains the detailed technical requirements). The three-legged framework applies to virtually all Alberta workplaces except federally regulated industries (which follow Canada Labour Code Part II). Workers have three fundamental rights: the right to know about hazards, the right to participate in safety decisions, and the right to refuse unsafe work without reprisal.

Employer, Supervisor, and Worker Responsibilities

  • Employers must ensure the health and safety of workers, provide instruction and training, maintain equipment, and prepare a health and safety program (mandatory for workplaces with 20+ regular workers).
  • Supervisors must take all reasonable steps to protect workers, ensure workers use required equipment and follow procedures, and advise workers of hazards.
  • Workers must protect their own health and safety and that of co-workers, use required equipment, cooperate with the OHS system, and report hazards or incidents.

Failure to fulfill these duties can result in administrative penalties, orders, prosecution, and in severe cases criminal charges under the federal Criminal Code (Bill C-45).

Hazard Assessment — The Foundation of Workplace Safety

Every task should begin with a hazard assessment. Formal assessments identify hazards, evaluate risk (probability multiplied by severity), and prescribe controls following the hierarchy: elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE. Field Level Hazard Assessments (FLHAs) are completed for each shift or task change. Job Safety Analyses (JSAs) document safe procedures for repetitive or non-routine work.

Energy Safety Canada H2s Alive — Ongoing Competency

Safety competency is not a one-time event. Workers require initial training before first exposure to a hazard, refresher training when procedures change, and periodic competency verification. Employer records must include worker names, training dates, course content, trainer identification, and assessment results. Alberta OHS inspectors routinely review training records during inspections and incident investigations.
