Do you have a Carbon Monoxide Alarm?

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness Week starts tomorrow and it’s the perfect opportunity to ensure your family is gas safe this winter.

CO is known as the silent killer. The highly poisonous gas can kill quickly and without warning, as you cannot see it, taste it, or smell it.

Young children’s small bodies are especially vulnerable to the effects and will experience symptoms sooner than a healthy adult.

It can leak into our homes when an appliance such as a boiler, gas hob, or wood burning stove has been incorrectly fitted, badly repaired or poorly maintained.

Fortunately, there are things you can do to keep your family safe:

⭐Fit a carbon monoxide alarm which will sound a warning if there is carbon monoxide in the air. Remember to test it regularly.
⭐Get your gas appliances checked by a registered gas engineer.

In one year alone, 160 children were burned so badly on radiators they had to be admitted to a specialist NHS burns unit.

A baby’s delicate skin and limited movement puts them at particular risk. If you can, move their cot away from the radiator.

If your child suffers a burn remember: COOL, CALL, COVER

COOL the burn for 20 minutes under cool running water.
CALL for help
COVER the burn loosely with cling film
