About H2S gas

Svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns= — Safety Mom Calgary

Hydrogen Sulphide gas is also known as  H2S, Sour gas,  or stink damp. It is a WHMIS-controlled product that is extremely poisonous to the public. In addition, it is a highly corrosive, flammable, explosive and toxic air pollutant.

It is a deadly killer with poor warning qualities, making it difficult for workers to locate with their 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, wastewater treatment plants, and sewers.

Hydrogen sulphide gas can naturally occur or be part of the manufacturing process and is prevalent in Alberta and many parts of western Canada.

H2S Alive Training in Calgary — Complete Course Guide

Last updated: October 15, 2026 · Published by Safety Mom · Allstar Enviro Safety · Reviewed by Arliss Levine, CRSP, CHSC

What is H2S Alive?

H2S Alive is an 8-hour Energy Safety Canada certified safety training course. The program teaches workers to recognize hydrogen sulfide (H2S) hazards, use respiratory protective equipment (SCBA), and perform basic rescue procedures. Safety Mom · Allstar Enviro Safety runs H2S Alive training in Calgary, Alberta, delivered by Arliss Levine, CRSP, CHSC. Certificates are issued the same day upon passing a written exam with a minimum score of 70 percent, and the credential is valid for three years across all Canadian provinces.

Who needs H2S Alive certification?

H2S Alive is required by nearly every oil and gas employer in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. The audience includes drilling and completions crews, well-servicing technicians, gas plant operators, pipeline construction workers, oilfield truckers, sour-facility contractors, and safety supervisors. It also applies to visitors, engineers, and administrative staff entering upstream oil and gas facilities that carry H2S risk.

H2S Alive curriculum — what you learn

  1. Hazards and detection: H2S properties (density 1.19, LEL 4.3%, IDLH 100 ppm), sources of H2S in oil and gas operations, and the physiological effects of exposure at different concentrations.
  2. Personal and fixed gas detection: bump-testing 4-gas monitors, reading fixed detection systems, and responding to alarm setpoints (10 ppm low, 15 ppm high in Alberta).
  3. Respiratory protective equipment: pre-inspection, donning, and doffing Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) with hands-on practice.
  4. Rescue techniques: single-person rescue, two-person rescue with SCBA, drag and lift procedures, and casualty management.
  5. Site emergency response: muster point management, wind direction awareness, and buddy-system escape from H2S atmospheres.
  6. Written theory exam: a 40-question written assessment requiring a 70 percent passing grade.

H2S Alive Calgary — Frequently Asked Questions

Everything workers ask before, during, and after H2S Alive certification. Answers by Arliss Levine, CRSP, CHSC.

The cost of the H2S Alive course is 0 + GST = 7.50 all-in. Payment options include Visa, Mastercard, and e-transfer. Candidates receive their credit card receipt by email and can receive their written receipt at the class or online. The H2S Alive ticket is issued the same day upon successful completion.

Is H2S Alive available near me in Alberta and BC?
Yes. Safety Mom runs the H2S Alive classroom in Calgary and delivers the online blended renewal course across Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and the rest of Canada. Dedicated city pages are available for Fort St John, Grande Prairie, Saskatoon, and Vancouver.

How long is H2S Alive certification valid?
H2S Alive certification is valid for three years from the date of issue. After that, workers can take the online blended renewal course through Safety Mom to renew the credential without repeating the full 8-hour classroom course.

Course Format & Requirements

How long is the H2S Alive course?
The H2S Alive classroom course runs about 6 to 8 hours in a single day — 6 hours of instructional time plus paperwork, breaks, and the exam. Total duration depends on class size, number of breaks, lunch break length, and how quickly the class writes the written exam.

Do you have to be clean-shaven for H2S Alive?
Clean-shavenness is not required as part of the H2S Alive program. However, you may not fit the mask you wear at the course, since it conforms better to a face without a beard. Be aware that you will need to be clean-shaven when you go to a field location and are expected to wear a respirator in an emergency situation.

What if I fail the H2S Alive exam?
The written theory exam requires a 70 percent minimum score. Workers who do not pass on the first attempt can retake the exam, and Safety Mom instructors provide guidance on review materials to help candidates prepare.

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Knowledge

What is H2S certification?
H2S Alive, an Energy Safety Canada trademarked product, has been adopted as a standard for the petroleum industry. It is the most recognized certification in Western Canada for training on hydrogen sulphide gas. As a result, most employers prefer employees, visitors, and contractors with this certification before granting site entry.

What does H2S stand for?
H2S is the chemical name for hydrogen sulphide gas — a naturally occurring toxic gas found in Alberta and many other regions of the world. It is a by-product of drilling and is present in volcanic activity, sulphur mountains, pulp and paper mills, mining, wastewater containment, and sewers. The H2S Alive program is training designed to make people aware of the dangers and properties of hydrogen sulphide gas.

How fast can H2S kill you?
H2S is called the “two-second knockdown” because it is highly toxic to humans and other animals. It causes the respiratory system to fail rapidly and also affects the cardiovascular and neurological systems, causing pulmonary oedema. Death can occur immediately above 700 ppm. The IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) limit of 100 ppm has been established federally in Canada.

What does H2S smell like?
Hydrogen sulfide has a rotten egg smell. Common names include sewer gas, stink damp, swamp gas, sour gas, acid gas, and manure gas. It occurs naturally in crude petroleum, natural gas, and hot springs where anaerobic decomposition occurs. What makes H2S so dangerous is that people have a problem detecting the odour above a low threshold — once workers lose the smell, they think H2S has gone away, when in fact it may be increasing in intensity.

What is the difference between H2S Alive and H2S Awareness?
H2S Alive is the Energy Safety Canada franchised course offered through Authorized Providers. It is the only accepted course for entry to most oil and gas facilities, particularly in the upstream oil and gas sector. Workers must demonstrate practical competence in the class — donning SCBAs and conducting rescue — and receive at least 70 percent on the exam. H2S Awareness is a shorter course designed to provide general awareness to workers who might have limited exposure to hydrogen sulphide gas but do not enter typical petroleum sites in Alberta. It is not accepted for site entry at most upstream oil and gas facilities.
