Every year about 16 people die from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by

gas appliances and flues which have not been properly maintained.

Many others also suffer ill health. When gas does not burn properly,

excess carbon monoxide is produced, which is poisonous.

You can’t see it. You can’t taste it. You can’t even smell it. But carbon monoxide

can kill without warning in just a matter of hours.

You are particularly at risk when you are asleep because you cannot recognize

the early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

These include

• Tiredness,
• Drowsiness,
• Headache,
• Nausea,
• Pains in the chest
• Stomach pains.

If you or your family experience the above symptoms, and you believe carbon

monoxide may be involved, you must seek urgent medical advice.

You are at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if:

• your appliance was poorly installed;
• your appliance is not working properly;
• your appliance has not been checked for safety or maintained regularly;
• there is not enough fresh air in the room;
• your chimney or flue gets blocked;
• You ask an unregistered engineer to undertake work for you.
