What To Do When The Alarm Sounds!

!
When the carbon monoxide alarm sounds:
If alarm signal sounds:
1) Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an
open door/window. Do a head count to
check that all persons are accounted for. Do not
re-enter the premises nor move away from
the open door/window until the emergency services
responders have arrived, the premises
have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its
normal condition.
2) Call your gas emergency services: 0800 111 999, or
your local Gas Safe Registered Engineer:
PHONE NUMBER
Alternatively, for solid fuel emergencies call
HETAS (0845 634 5626) or for oil based emergencies
call Oftec (0845 658 5080).
Never restart the source of the CO problem until it
has been corrected. Never ignore the sound
of the alarm! If the alarm is sounding, pressing the
test/reset button will terminate the alarm. If
the CO condition that caused the alert in the first
place continues, the alarm will reactivate. If the unit
alarms again within six minutes, it is sensing high
levels of CO which can quickly become
a dangerous situation.
WARNING:
Actuation of your CO Alarm
indicates the presence of
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which can kill you.
