TOXIC AT CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE 10 PARTS PER MILLION, H2S GIVES LITTLE WARNING SINCE OLFACTORY SENSORS ARE IMMEDIATELY DESENSITIZED AT LETHAL CONCENTRATIONS.
By the time you smell it, you are already dead.
We also use H2S detectors. The problem is, you are wearing it. By the time the sensor alarm goes off, chances are, you already inhaled it too. H2S sensors on the perimeter would work, unless the source is at your work site.
Unfortunately, and this probably happens way too frequently, and is kind of morbid, but, a common indication of H2S present is your "buddie" going down.

From 1906's OP, I assumed (hope I assumed correctly) that his/her situation is more non-permanent. The people is going from well to well to do their thing.
For people going from site to site, SCBA is the way to go. The downside of course is bulk, weight, having enough tanks to last you through the job, heat, did I mention weight?

I took my course with PITS. Their website is

Once you get in, look for H2S Alive.
I don't know where you are located, but if you google H2S alive along with the city you are in, you should get some hits.
