"Our company has informed their next-of-kin that we will provide free hotel accommodation for them if they wish to stay in Singapore. This will make these hospital visits easier for them."The other worker in the intensive care unit is also employed by Supersonic Maintenance Services. CNA has contacted the firm for more information.
Two water jets were used to disperse the vapour, said SCDF. This went on for an hour before HazMat specialists determined that there was no longer any hydrogen sulphide on the premises.
