Answer
Select all the symptoms that you think may be symptoms of harmful exposure to H2S?
Answer
What does ISGOTT recommend that you do when the H2S level is expected to rise rapidly, such as when removing cargo line blanks?
Wear SCBA.
Run a fan nearby to blow the gas away.
Take H2S readings more often.
Undo the bolts at arm’s length.
What is the ISGOTT Time Weighted Average exposure limit (TLV-TWA) quoted for H2S in this module?
5 ppm.
10 ppm.
15 ppm.
20 ppm.
What is the allowable exposure limit for H2S?
There is no single allowable limit. Different regulations set different limits.
30 ppm.
2 ppm.
10 %.
Which of the following best describes how a gas detection tube is used to find out if H2S is present in a space?
The amount of colour change in the tube gives an H2 reading.
The glass tube will become cloudy if H2S is present.
The tube turns blue if H2S is present.
The amount of electric current passing through the tube gives an H2S reading.
Which of the following best describes the effect on your skin caused by exposure to H2S over long periods?
Various skin disorders.
Skin turns blue.
Skin turns yellow.
No effect, provided a cotton boiler suit is worn.
Which of the following best describes the possible effect of drinking alcohol before being exposed to H2S?
The effects of H2S are worse.
It has no effect.
The effects of H2S are less.
H2S reacts with the alcohol on your breath causing mouth burns.
Which of the following is the best action if you begin to show symptoms of H2S exposure?
Get fresh air, leave the work area and call for help.
Take a 15-minute break and resume work.
Keep working and call for help.
Ignore the symptoms and continue working.
Which one of the following best describes a major safety hazard of H2S?
It is explosive.
It loses its rotten egg smell.
It causes corrosion.
It burns with a yellow flame.
Which one of the following best describes the effect of exposure to a low level of H2S on your eyes?
Minor eye irritation.
Change in eye colour.
Permanent eye damage.
Reduced vision due to the gas cloud.
Which one of the following best describes the factors that decide how much H2S exposure affects your body?
Frequency, intensity and duration of exposure as well as individual factors.
Frequency and intensity of exposure as well as individual factors.
Intensity and duration of exposure.
Frequency and intensity of exposure.
Which one of the following best describes why we often use a time weighted average when measuring H2S exposure?
It measures two of the most important factors which determine the harm caused by H2S.
Concentrations of H2S are constantly changing and readings need to be averaged.
It allows you to work in high levels of H2S so long as you take the next day off.
It is easier to measure than the instant value of H2S.
Which one of the following describes how H2S would normally enter your body while on board a ship?
Absorption and inhalation.
Injection and ingestion.
Ingestion and absorption.
Injection and absorption.
Which one of the following describes how an electric meter can be used to safely measure H2S, a flammable gas?
The meter is certified for use in explosive atmospheres.
The meter is powered by a hand crank.
The meter is powered by a piezo-electric cell.
The meter is kept in the accommodation and sample is taken via a rubber tube.
Which one of the following describes the main source of the H2S found on board ships?
Natural organic decay.
Atmospheric pollution.
Rusting of steel.
Anti-corrosion paint.
Which one of the following describes the most likely way H2S can be brought on board a ship?
Bunkering residual fuel oil.
Loading fresh water.
Taking on harbour water as ballast.
Bunkering lube oil.
Which one of the following does ISGOTT recommend you do if your personal H2S alarm sounds while you are at the bottom of a cargo tank?

Keep clear by testing for H2S using a sample tube on a long stick.
Which one of the following is the best way to approach a workplace where H2S is suspected to be, if continuous monitoring is not available?
Wear a positive pressure SCBA until H2S levels have been shown to be safe.
Do not approach the workplace.
Hold your breath until H2S levels have been shown to be safe.
