Continuing
Education; Are You?
Prevent carbon monoxide poisoning to yourself and others and get
certified; to be certified, you must measure. Prove it to yourself and
others.
Your time spent in a training class can be measured. Your memory
can be measured through written exams. Your performance can be measured in
front of an evaluator. To be truly certified for carbon monoxide safety, you
must perform carbon monoxide safety by measurement every day, to the levels of
your responsibility. At minimum, be responsible for measuring & knowing the air you breathe.
Measure carbon monoxide for safety and knowledge. The more you
test the more you learn. Measurement is continuing education
at its best. Bob
