carbon monoxide safety

Toxic gas precautions

Carbon monoxide safety refers to practices and equipment designed to prevent poisoning from this odorless, colorless gas produced by incomplete combustion.

The core element is installing CO detectors near sleeping areas and fuel-burning appliances.

Proper ventilation of furnaces, water heaters, generators, and vehicles prevents dangerous buildup.

Never run a generator indoors, even in a garage—carbon monoxide safety is no joke.
