A Talvivaara Mining Company employee born in 1976 died Thursday morning 15 March 2012 outside the Talvivaara metals recovery plant in Sotkamo, Finland. The man was found lifeless near the factory buildings. The emergency services were alerted at 9.30. The plant fire brigade and the primary care unit tried to revive the man, but the man died.

Elevated concentrations of hydrogen sulfide were detected earlier that morning by multi-gas meters in the yard at the plant site where the man had been found. The measured concentrations of hydrogen sulfide were harmful, but not at a potentially fatal level. In compliance with Occupational Health and Safety Guidelines work was suspended at the scene.

According to Talvivaara Health and Safety Instructions in the metals recovery area it is mandatory to be equipped with multi-gas meters and a personal breathing apparatus. From the preliminary investigation Police notified that, the employee who died doing a sample collecting round was not equipped with multi-gas meters or protective equipment
