To protect personnel from exposure to H2S, high H2S areas were classified by performing dispersion modeling and physically demarcated as red, yellow and green zones by installing dismountable barriers. The personnel entering high H2S zones were trained for H2S competency and 15 minutes duration EEBD has became mandatory to enter into these zones. Since the outdoor assembly points are not ideal in the event of large H2S release, it has been decided to install PROS and to identify & convert some existing buildings as TSR.
