Please break down the OSHA and H2S certifications everyone is looking for

I'm doing the osha 10 through "clicksafety"(general industry 10 hour)and h2s(hydrogen sulfide training)through "Etraining"osha approved and used by trucking ind...

 

The H2S certification was done in house during orientation. It took a few hours and will really open your eyes to the dangers of the job. No second chances with h2s. If you pass out, nobody is going to save you. It's forbidden. If you go in to try to save somebody overcome by h2s you yourself will be the next victim.

 

Thanks for the OSHA10. Mine is about to expire.

 

OSHA 10 is required by most companies. Cost is $89.95 for General Industry Training. I took OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety and Awareness Training (Field Supervisor Version). It cost $189.95. If you have any previous construction experience, do not bother with the 30-hour course. It's redundant and not worth the extra time and money.

In regards to H2S training, I look the full course at a cost of $59.95. You can get the basic certification for $19.95, and the basic is all you really need. I took both classes online.

 

All of this training is dependent upon how badly they need you. We hauled sand for Chevron. Safety said no one allowed on site that hasn't been to their 2 day class. Only about 10 of probably 30 drivers had. Frac was on. Higher up told safety to -iss off and everyone hauled for 5 days round the clock. Same with another company out of Austin that runs lot of work around Three Rivers. H2S is good. OSHA anything is just stepping stone to safety job. Never had any OSHA and was never asked for it. If they want it let them provide it. Weatherford and TriCan both had us come to training in their yards. Got paid and good lunch as well.

 

Osha training has nothing to do with safety, but how to cover the company assets when an accident happens.

Shell requires land safe training, but waives the requirement when there is product to move...

 

Do you have a name for that Austin company that runs out of Three Rivers?

 

I paid $200 for SafeLand, SafeGulf and H2S.

Now I finally got hired and need to sit through the class again next week. Oh well. At least I get my money back this time! (Getting paid to sit in the class)

 

Drivers complain how safety training takes away from their off time. I paid attention. Saved 11 people so far. Am I Hero? Nope, just a Trucker that knew what to do. Picture in the paper, nope, got to deliver the load. Don't need thanks. I did it, all that counts. I'm a Trucker. P.S. God is watchin'

 

Gonna have to ask for a backstory on at least a couple of those saved lives.
