COSA NOTE: Encourage awareness to the hazards and the prevention of carbon monoxide poisoning. Encourage the use of carbon monoxide alarms in all buildings. The alarms recommended are those that are tested to alarm at CO PPM levels most protective for people of vulnerable health. This population of people with medical conditions might include pregnant women and the unborn, infants and children, people with cardio vascular, respiratory or neurological conditions, including chronic headache, anemia, disorientation, depression or even people with seasonal flu-like symptoms. Encourage all First Responders to wear personal carbon monoxide monitors that alarm no later than at 35 PPM of CO immediately upon reaching that level.This personal protection can also help protect civilians and other responders who might not be equipped with proper detection equipment or when the building is limited in its’ carbon monoxide alerting systems.
Every Day is Carbon Monoxide Safety Day!
