Abstract: As one of the major risks in high-sulfur crude oil processing, the H
2S exposure could be reduced by early warning of H
2S leaking. Based on the source and distribution of H
2S, the four-level warning mechanisms of H
2S leak is developed by using HSE risk identification system, which makes the H
2S concentration values as the grading index. The appropriate emergency measures are formed. To provide guidance for H
2S poisoning protection during high-sulfur crude oil processing, the safeguards to prevent H
2S poisoning are presented according to the cause of H
2S poisoning and "Human - Machine - Material - Regulation - Environment".
