Please take CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY CARE during all holiday and everyday activities.
What are some of the best practices and lines of defense in the prevention of carbon monoxide poisoning?
Preparation: Does the community know enough about carbon monoxide generation and the safe use of combustion systems to be prepared and to take necessary steps before the injury or illness occurs?
·
Is there a
consensus level for when emergency responders wear air support systems?
·
Is there a
consensus evacuation level for citizens?
·
Are personal
carbon monoxide safety monitors worn by all emergency responders who respond to
distressed citizen calls and enter unfamiliar buildings?
·
Are the buildings
equipped with carbon monoxide alarm devices that are equal to the standards
utilized by emergency responders for air support and evacuation?
·
Since not all
people are of equal health, carbon monoxide alarms & warning devices will
be in all buildings where people may be exposed to any level of carbon monoxide
and be alerted to levels equal to the compliance standards for emergency
responders use of self contained breathing apparatus and evacuation.
·
Is there a common
practice to test all people with flu-like or other symptoms known to be
associated with carbon monoxide poisoning? Are they tested for CO poisoning
when the symptoms are presented, including those with heart dysfunctions? Are
emergency responders testing victims with symptoms or those associated by
vicinity to the carbon monoxide distress on site with non-invasive devices?
·
How far away are
the hyperbaric facilities?
·
Are the
combustion heating systems in all buildings tested and tuned
regularly to reduce the inefficiencies and hazards of these systems?
·
Is there an
educational program for consumers regarding fire and carbon monoxide safety in
place that begins in early childhood and continues through all ages?
