How to determine the presence of H2S
at on Oil platform. What
precaution action to take.
Always enter any potential H2S Hazard Zone from the Upwind Direction.
Unless specifically instructed otherwise, always assume that an H2S Hazard exists.
Vessel crew should all wear SCBA ( ) Units when entering a potential H2S Hazard Zone.
H2S heavier than air and readily soluble in water.
The potential H2S Hazard can be substantially reduced by operating the vessel's Protective water spray System & Fire Fighting Monitors in a full spray pattern.

Cast off All crew on deck coming inside the accommodation the vessel take the position up wind
61. When ship tie-up to RIG. You OOW, if on deck collapse man, from poisoning. What will you do?
Move affected person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped,
give cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Keep person warm and quiet.
62. What you do? For pull out from Rig, in time GAS ALERT?
63. If you are along side the platform, and you found out that there is a leaking. What will you do?
1. Do not enter any significant floating crude oil realize area.
2. Unless specifically confirmed by the Incident Command Post (ICP) always assume that an H2S Hazard
exists.
3. Approach the crude oil realize from the Upwind Direction.
4. Operate the Vessel Protective Waterspray System to minimize the potential ignition hazard.
5. Utilize the Vessel Fire Monitors in a protective waterspray nozzle pattern to disperse the floating
crude oil or to protect rescue craft or persons in the open sea.
