I’m glad this man is okay but his could have been easily avoided. In my experience with confined spaces and the workers who deal with transporting anything in a tanker, these men and women receive training on those spaces and the use of proper safety equipment when entering ANY confined space, especially those used to haul substances like Hydrogen Sulfide.

When I worked in the oil fields I was too big to enter most tank ports, but I was on the pulling end of the safety line of the tank man”s safety harness, in case of just such an emergency.

Training and awareness is essential to working in confined spaces and around toxic gases.

This individual is very fortunate.

Hopefully, this company will take the incident very seriously and conduct a safety stand down to address their workplace safety program.

This could have been a deadly outcome…H2S kills in confined spaces at low levels for extended periods.
