If hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas is detected, raise the alarm and evacuate people from areas near drilling equipment and mud tanks to an open, higher area upwind. Trained personnel should don masks or respirators and add zinc oxide to the mud to reduce H2S, while medical help is provided to anyone affected. If the situation does not improve, stop operations and wait for experts to address it safely.
