Personnel Protective Equipment INTRODUCTION

Section 6 discusses some personnel protective equipment that can be used in oil and gas well producing and gas pro­cessing plant operations where the work atmosphere concen­tration of hydrogen sulfide could exceed 10 ppm or sulfur dioxide atmospheric concentration could exceed 2 ppm (re­fer to Par. 4.1 and Appendices A and B). Having personnel protective equipment available is not enough; training per­sonnel in the selection, use, inspection, and maintenance of the equipment is essential.
