4 CHAPTER 1: WELCOME ABOARD!
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.
Factors increasing the effects of CO poisoning include:
•
Age
•
Smokers or people exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke
•
Consumption of alcohol
•
Lung disorders
•
Heart problems
•
Pregnancy
Sources of CO
To correct stationary situations a and/or b:
•
Close all windows, portlights
and hatches.
•
If possible, move your boat away from
source of CO.
To correct running situations c and/or d:
•
Trim bow down.
•
Open windows and canvas.
•
When possible, run boat so that pre-
vailing winds help dissipate exhaust.
IMMEDIATELY take corrective
action if CO is detected or suspected.
