I recently took the h2s alive course at Tritech. The instructor did a good job relaying the info and keeping the class engaged. Good facilities and venue. Easy to book the courses you need. Not the fault of Tritech, but the course has changed over the years, as have many other required courses. A large part is now general safety procedures, haz ids, safety systems info. The course could probably be a half day if all the extra nonsense was dropped. Twelvefoot2025-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 1.
