You can learn about carbon monoxide by
reading about it. Reading is a beginning and may help increase awareness, but
measurement is defining.
I have been asked many times at the end of one of my
presentations by an attendee, “Am I certified now? Do I get a certificate?”
My answer may include these statements, “If you want to be certified,
you must measure. 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 measured for carbon monoxide safety, you
must perform carbon monoxide safety and measure every day to the levels of your responsibility. Who is responsible for the air you breathe?”
Prevent carbon monoxide poisoning to yourself and others.
Measure carbon monoxide for safety and knowledge. The more you test the more
you learn. Measurement is education at its best. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
