Sunday November 19, 2006 Bacharach's Daily Message: Carbon Monoxide Safety is Everybody's Business.
- Have all of your combustion appliances checked for safe and accurate operation.
- Do not use gasoline powered electric generators in or even near buildings; keep them a safe distance away from open windows, doors, under carports attached to buildings and other close locations; NEVER use them inside of any building or shed.
- Dot not warm cars up inside of garages including those with the doors open; this is not safe.
- Always have a working carbon monoxide alarm in your home, in your camper or in your tent. Make sure you have at least one Carbon Monoxide Alarm in your house or building that is accurate enough to protect elderly, infants and other vulnerable people from low level carbon monoxide. The standard over-the-counter UL 2034 Listed alarms ARE NOT sensitive enough to protect these vulnerable people; READ the alarm levels listed for each alarm you purchase.
- Consider others when smoking; children breathing in second-hand smoke while being passengers in an automobile is suffocating and detrimental to their health.
