Safety training has never become such a critical issue as

in the context where the labor force is unskilled in both

knowledge and techniques in Myanmar despite that

Myanmar over the past years has transformed rapidly

with it opening up to trade and encouraging FDI, setting

up the momentum for drastic development and

long-term growth. Especially with the large supply of

natural gas placing itself amongst South East Asia’s

major energy exporters, Myanmar Oil & Gas has

reached $10.8 billion of total FDI approvals from fiscal

year of 2005/06 to September 2010. With the increase in

numbers of cross-border investors comes greater

demand for skillful and qualified workforce. The quest

for competency to ensure health, safety and operation

efficiency has therefore become one challenging issue

for many Oil & Gas companies.

With our primary focus on standardized solutions for skilled and well-trained

labor, PVD Training hopes to help enhance safety awareness and increase

competence of the local workforce. Hence, on August 5th of 2014, PVD Training

proudly presented its first safety training workshop in Yangon, Myanmar:

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Safety Training.

H2S is a deadly poison. Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide occur in crude

petroleum, but natural gas can contain up to 90%. Thus, its biological effects post

serious threats to all personnel working in petroleum industry, those at high risk

of being exposed to Hydro Sulfide. The training is required for those working in

the field in Oil & Gas industry to gain the awareness of the hazards of working in

an H2S environment and to be well-equipped with basic to advanced skills to fol-

low a response strategy to H2S exposure and to rescue casualty of its

poisoning.

The course was conducted in one day, covering the following theory and practice:

Properties and Hazards of H2S

Biological effects of H2S

Methods of detecting and monitoring H2S:

Breathing Apparatus/Escape breather familiarization: features of breathing

apparatuses most commonly in use (SCBA & SABA); and the generic

instruction of pre-use inspection, operation and after-use inspection

Rescue Emergency Response

Portable Gas Tester

Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)

Course content was developed based on the international standards set by OPITO.

Upon course completion, the delegates were granted PVD Training certificates,

which have been recognized and appreciated by different operators and

contractors worldwide, to be named a few as Petronas, Seadrill, Shelf Drilling,

KS Drilling, UMW and etc.

Courses was conducted by experienced instructors with years of expertise in

Offshore Safety, at Myanmar Oil & Gas Enterprise (MOGE), Thaketa Offshore

Supply Base furnishing the participation of more than 22 delegates from MOGE,

different operators, drilling contractors and oil & gas service companies

Myanmar.

in Yangon, Myanmar

“Training is not about the Course outline, Training is about changing your

behaviors.” - A favorite quote from one of our safety trainers.

According to an industrial safety research, it is estimated that for

most industrial accidents, human factor causes can be attributed up

to 80% of accidents in high hazard industries. And the majority of

errors were found at the perception level of employees. Hence,

employers must, in any circumstances, question if their employees

are COMPETENT to do the jobs, especially those who

involve directly with equipment. Do they:

1. Have enough knowledge to handle the equipment safely?

2. Have the knowledge to recognize safe and risk elements?

3. Have the skills and knowledge to respond to emergency

situation?

With H2S Safety Training workshop delivered by PVD Training,

the trainees were equipped with not only the understanding of the

hazards associated with H2S and the confidence to enable them to

work safely in a potential H2S environment, but also the

advance knowledge and skills in operation of portable gas

detection device and of SCBA relevant to H2S Response

Strategy.

H2S Safety Training Workshop is among the training workshops

that can be delivered flexibly at any pre-arranged facility with not

much dependence on complex equipment or training facility.

They are indeed interactive classroom sessions provided with

virtual learning resources as explaining videos, multiple

photographic examples, and demonstration using portable

equipment or simulators. Most training workshops include theory,

case studies and practice. For some training workshops that require

utilizing physical facility, our team will survey your premises to

determine the area that could be used for the training along with

appropriate design and set-up to best reflect the objectives of the

courses.
