Home Safety Tips

Many CO poisonings are caused by equipment failures due to poor maintenance, product defects, and damaged parts. The following is a list of safety tips to help pre- vent CO poisoning within your home:

1.Have all fuel-burning appliances inspected and cleaned yearly by a qualified service technician. The furnace, water heater, and stove are some of the leading sources of CO in homes.

2.Clean fireplace vents and chimney regularly. A blocked chimney could cause a backdraft of CO into the home. Do not cap chimney. This will cause a backdraft of CO into the home.

3.Do not cap or cover a drafthood or exhaust vent to any appliance. This will trap dangerous CO inside the house.

4.Do not close off or confine your fuel-burning appliances in a closed area. They need plenty of ventilation to operate properly.

5.Do not use liquid propane (LP) or charcoal grills indoors.

6.Do not operate any gasoline-powered equipment indoors.

7.Allow for plenty of ventilation when using a kerosene heater. Do not use in small areas.

Preventive maintenance, common sense, and a CO detection device are some of the best solutions to preventing CO poisoning. However, a dangerous situation can hap- pen to anyone at any time.

The following list illustrates some danger signs of CO presence.

1.Soot and dirt build-up seeping out of chimney or other exhaust vents.

2.A mostly yellow, rather than clear blue, burner flame or pilot flame in gas appliances.

3.A draft of air coming from appliances, chimneys, or vents.

IF YOU HAVE FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS OR SUSPECT CO POISONING,

SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.
