Carbon Monoxide (CO)
CO poisoning causes a significant number of boating deaths each year. Called the
"silent killer", CO is an extremely toxic, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
Breathing CO blocks the ability of your blood to carry oxygen. The effects are
cumulative, even low levels of exposure can result in injury or death.
Sources of CO
Sources of CO include:
To correct stationary situations a and/or b:
•
Close all windows, portlights and hatches.
•
If possible, move your boat away from the source of the CO.
To correct running situations c and/or d:
•
Trim the bow down.
•
Open windows and canvas.
•
When possible, run the boat so that the prevailing winds will help dissipate the
exhaust.
IMMEDIATELY take corrective action when CO is detected (see, Carbon
Monoxide Alarm System, on the next page).
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD! Carbon monoxide
gas (CO) is colorless, odorless, and extremely dangerous. All
engines, generators, and fuel burning appliances produce CO as
