CARBON MONOXIDE OUTSIDE OF THE HOME
It’s not just in the house that you must be carbon monoxide safe. Anywhere that fossil fuels are burnt, CO can occur. Ensure that appliances are checked and maintained, barbecues are always in open air (even after they have gone out), and you have a CO alarm present.
CAMPING TENTS
Never take a barbecue into a tent. Even after extinguishing. CO can continue to be produced for hours
CARAVANS & MOTORHOMES
Appliances such as gas fires/cookers, or petrol-powered generators should be maintained and a CO alarm installed
BOATS & YACHTS
Boats can contain fuel burning devices which should be maintained and a CO alarm should be present.
CAR EXHAUSTS
Car exhausts produce carbon monoxide, so never leave a car running in a confined space, such as a garage.
