I got an experience with a spill of gaseous H2S in Bulgaria. In these cases, I am sure to rely on my training: I am a certified Operational Supervisor and, before visiting a plant, I have it as a personal rule, on top of Company policy, to be informed about the chemicals they use and how to deal with them in case of a spillage. I feel well equipped to handle a potential spillage in a professional manner.
