Carbon Minoxide Awareness Week
Monday 11th November 2024
Samantha Knight - Affinity
In line with Carbon Minoxide Awareness Week we are raising awareness with all of our residents and reminding you to stay vigilant with living safely in your home.
There are currently reported around 30 deaths per year linked to carbon monoxide poisoning. This has decreased from around 40 deaths per year since the legislation came into force requiring C02 detectors to be installed in rental properties.
Please be reminded:
You should have an audible carbon monoxide alarm that meets European Standard fitted within 2meters of any gas boiler, gas fire or fuel burning fire and you must test its working by pressing the test button on the device regularly.
Never place a used BBQ inside tents or other enclosed places
Never use petrol or diesel generators indoors when pumping out water or drying homes
Stay Safe in your Homes!
