Many cases of reported Carbon Monoxide poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disorientated that they are unable to save themselves by either leaving the building or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may be the first affected.

There may be Carbon Monoxide in other areas of the house e.g. downstairs, in a closed room etc. but not in the vicinity of the CO Alarm. Doors, air draughts and obstructions can prevent the CO reaching the Alarm. For these reasons we recommend. CO Alarms are fitted both near and in bedrooms, particularly if bedroom doors are closed at night. Additionally install in rooms where members of the household spend much of their time, and in rooms with potential sources of CO gas 9.
