2. Medium
drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.
3. Extreme Exposure:
cardiorespiratory failure, death.
The above levels of exposure relate to healthy adults. Levels
differ for those at high risk. Exposure to high levels of carbon
monoxide can be fatal or cause permanent damage and
disabilities. Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning
indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they
become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by
either exiting the building, or calling for assistance. Also, young
children and household pets may be the first effected.
Familiarisation with the effects of each level is important.

Escape Plan
Prepare and practice a home escape plan twice a year. Know two
ways out of every room (door & window) and identify a meeting
place outside the home where everyone will gather once they
have exited the residence. When two people have reached the
meeting place, one should leave to call 999* while the second
person stays to account for additional family members.
Establish a rule that once you're out, you never go
back in to the house under any circumstance!
