To be safe, know the possible sources of CO in your home. Keep fuel burning appliances and their chimneys and vents in
good working condition. Learn the early symptoms of exposure, and if you suspect CO poisoning, move outside to fresh
air and get emergency help. Your first line of defence is an annual inspection and regular maintenance of your applianc-
es. Contact a licensed contractor or call your local utility company for assistance.
In rented properties your Landlord (or Council/ Housing Association), will have an Emergency Response phone
number, and be liable for the regular maintenance of their combustion appliances (Gas/LPG/Oil/Solid Fuel).
