This renewal course shows workers how to work safely in and around Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) environments

Upon Completion

Upon successful completion of the Energy Safety Canada online theory exam with a minimum score of 70%, students will then be eligible, and have 90 days, to complete the skills assessment at an Authorized Training Provider (assessment fees will apply). Successful completion of the skills assessment will result in a Certificate of Completion that is valid for three years. Should a student be unsuccessful in either the online theory or skills assessment on the first attempt, they will be required to register for the one-day H2S Alive classroom course (registration fees will apply).
