Home Safety Tips
Many CO poisonings are caused by equipment failures due to poor mainte-
nance, product defects, and damaged parts. The following is a list of safety
tips to help prevent CO poisoning within your home:
1. Have all fuel-burning appliances inspected and cleaned yearly by a quali-
fied service technician. The furnace, water heater, and stove are some of
the leading sources of CO in homes.
2. Clean fireplace vents and chimney regularly. A blocked chimney could
cause a backdraft of CO into the home. Do not cap chimney. This will
cause a backdraft of CO into the home.
3. Do not cap or cover a draft hood or exhaust vent to any appliance. This
will trap dangerous CO inside the house.
4. Do not close off or confine your fuel-burning appliances in a closed area.
They need plenty of ventilation to operate properly.
5. Do not use liquid propane (LP) or charcoal grills indoors.
6. Do not operate any gasoline-powered equipment indoors.
7. Allow for plenty of ventilation when using a kerosene heater. Do not use
in small areas.
Preventive maintenance, common sense, and a CO detection device are
some of the best methods of preventing CO poisoning. However, a danger-
ous situation can happen to anyone at any time. The following list illustrates
some danger signs of CO presence.
1. Soot and dirt build-up seeping out of chimney or other exhaust vents.
2. A mostly yellow (rather than clear blue) burner flame or pilot flame in gas
appliances.
3. A draft of air coming from an appliance, chimney, or vents.
If you have flu-like symptoms or suspect CO poisoning, seek
medical assistance immediately!
