H2S gas training

[Prefy]

I'm trained in confined entry, that entails air monitoring and a SAR(supplied air resirator). We test for H2S, CO, O2 and Methane.

In my case the training was for sewer entry, which was a pretty intense 3 day course. Similarily the way our waste water system is setup there is very little chance that any of the gases would actually be present but I guess its better to be safe then sorry.

It is a way for the safety companies to make some good coin. We had all of the sensors in our gas monitor replaced in May and two of them bit the bullet today. $600 and a couple hours of labour to change them out...crazy

That was what I was afraid of when the sensor on our Industrial Scientific iBrid system went out. But a quick call to CS and some guided diagnostics on the phone and they shipped out a new sensor for me to replace myself. No charge whatsoever. Even shipped a return label for the old sensor. Gotta say I was impressed.

The CS and equipment is top notch, the thing is a bit big especially if you were to hang it on your belt, about the size of an 80's cell phone, but then again not many things out there detect for Methyl Bromide.



OP, sounds like fun, Not. I think my SCBA cert is up soon. Dreading going in for the physical. They always say I have the lungs of a 70 year old.
