4. WHERE TO PLACE CO ALARMS
4.1
Ideally a Carbon Monoxide Alarm should be installed in:
- Every room containing a fuel burning appliance, and
- Remote rooms where occupants spend a considerable amount of time
- Every bedroom.
However if the number of Carbon Monoxide Alarms is limited, the following points
should be considered when deciding where best to fit the alarm(s)
- If there is an appliance in a room where people sleep, place a CO Alarm in this room
and
- Locate a CO alarm in a room containing a flueless or open-flued appliance, and
- Locate an alarm in a room where the occupant(s) spend most of their time (e.g.
sitting room) and
- In a bedsit, the CO alarm should be placed as far away from the cooking appliance
as possible, but near to where the person sleeps and
- If the appliance is in a room not normally used, such as a boiler room, the CO alarm
should be placed just outside the room so that the alarm will be heard more easily.
