Remember to have carbon monoxide protection and
notification, at least from the high levels of 70 PPM and higher, but low level
protection beginning over 5 PPM is best.
· Remember to make sure your CO alarms have power via battery or direct electrical current or both if required.
· Do not use gas ovens or other combustion systems that are not intended for heating as a heating source. It is recommended to exhaust oven and cooking gases out of the living space.
· Take note of upsetting health symptoms you are experiencing or that more than one of you living or working in the same space may be. Get out of the space, get yourself and the space tested for carbon monoxide.
Safety Note: The exhaust fan used to remove gas cooking gasses out of the breathable air may exert enough reverse pressure through air being forced out of the living space, that it might interfere with the exhaust pressure on atmospherically vented appliances, listed as Category I – those with a non positive vent pressure. Building pressure testing and verification is vital to the safe performance of this combustion equipment. The more exhaust fans, the more foreseeable venting problems (that have solutions).Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
