Prevention

These measures can help to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:

• All fuel burning appliances and associated flues/chimneys are installed by the appropriate, registered trades people.

• the above are maintained and serviced in accordance with the manufacturers instructions

• no-one modifies or tampers with any appliance, flue or chimney

• your chimney is swept and inspected regularly

• ventilation openings are not blocked and are free from vegetations

• fit an audible CO alarm, certified to EN 50291

• the CO alarm is tested when your appliances are.

Remember:

All appliances should be correctly installed and maintained.

A CO alarm is not a substitute!
