PROTECT  YOURSELF

 

The best way to ensure that you and your family are not exposed to carbon monoxide

is to eliminate this poisonous gas at the source.

 

MAKE THE MAINTENANCE OF YOUR FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCES, EQUIPMENT AND VENTING SYSTEMS AN ABSOLUTE PRIORITY.

 

Have a trained, certified technician check your furnace, gas, stove, fireplace or fuel-burning appliances on a yearly basis.

Install a tested and CSA-approved alarm on each level of your home, cottage or boat cabin.

 

These will warn you of rising levels of CO, giving you and your family time to escape. Without CO alarms the only way to know if CO is present is when the physical symptoms of CO poisoning become apparent.
