Carbon Monoxide Safety

Signs of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Symptoms of CO poisoning can be easily mistaken for other illnesses. Be alert to the following signs:
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Breathlessness
  • Collapse
  • Loss of consciousness

    • How to Protect Your Home

      • Install a CO Alarm: Ensure that you have a carbon monoxide alarm installed within your home. Test it regularly to ensure it is working.
      • Regular Maintenance: Have all gas appliances checked and serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
      • Ventilation: Make sure your home is well-ventilated. 
      • Educate Your Family: Teach everyone in your household about the dangers of carbon monoxide and what to do in case of a CO leak.

    Cadent

    We are thrilled to partner with Cadent on this initiative. Cadent already provides extensive support to many households in the UK facing fuel poverty. With the cost of living going up, we are determined to reach as many local families as possible to increase awareness and take advantage of such support as well. 
     
    Phil Burrows, Head of Customer Vulnerability and Social Programmes,
    explained the reasons for the partnership:
    At Cadent we are committed to supporting customers across our networks who need additional support and advice by helping them stay safe, warm and independent in their homes. We are delighted to help support local families, schools and the elderly at Coram's Fields with energy efficiency and income maximisation advice that will make a positive difference to their lives. Together we will also offer carbon monoxide (CO) awareness advice and alarms to help reduce the risks of CO poisoning from poorly maintained flues and appliances. As well as all this important advice, we will also promote the Priority Service Register to support those who need extra help from utilities companies in the event of an incident or outage
