Unfortunately, this logical re action increases the risk of carbon mon oxide poisoning. Approximately 300 people die from home related carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning each year, according to Na tional Safety Council estimates. To bdp protect against poisoning, the Council urges people to install carbon monoxide detectors. Any time fuel is horned without fresh air circulating, carbon monoxide poisoning can happen. Individuals can be overcome by gas escaping from a faulty or clogged hearing system or stove in their home. Since carbon monoxide is an odorless, tasteless and colorless gas, you can become sickened or poisoned without knowing it Tiie Massachusetts Safety Council offers the following suggestions for re ducing the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning: Remember to keep fresh air circu lating and open a vent or window to eliminate toxic fumes Check your heating system - fur nace, space heater, water heater, fire place and incinerator - annually to make sure it is operating efficiently and that vents, pipes, flues and chimneys are tight. Check kitchen stoves as well. Do not close your fireplace damper until you are certain the fire is out. Chimneys should be cleaned and in spected annually. Though it is not 100 percent reli able, use your nose as a detection device. Although your nose won't detect the presence of carbon monoxide, it will smell the smoke that often accompanies CO. Trade down unexplained sources of smoke or fumes and have the problem remediated at once. The initial symptoms of CO poison ing are similar to the flu without a fever. They indude dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and irregular breathing. Exposure to low concentrations of CO over several hours can be as dangerous as exposure to high levels for a few minutes. The Massachusetts Safety Council urges people to install carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. For proper in stallation, read the directions carefully. The Council suggests installing at leak one detector in a home. Place a detector outside of bedrooms or on each level of your home. Remember not to install too close to heating sources - furnaces, wa ter beaten - they may set off a false alarm. CSP Review Course The ASSE-Boston Chapter is proud to annmmoc that it will be sponsoring a CSP Review Course in Lexington, MA.

Fot further information, call Steve Cerven, CSP at (617) 861-3075. Pays Off 1. To protect employees from physical injury, chemical exposure and other hazards. 2. To increase productivity. Re search indicates that employees trained in safe work practices are more BkeSy to avoid injuries and maintain production. 3. To reduce workers' compen sation costs. 4. To improve employee mo rale. Employees who are confident that they work in a safe environ ment and can handle safety chal lenges tents to feel better about their jobs. 5. To promote safety aware ness. 6. To avoid disasters. When in cidents, collision, injuries, spills, fires or explosions occur, it's often because safety rules were neglected. 7. It's the law. This may not be the best reason, but it's a fact of life. - OSI1A Compliance Officer NOTE: The information contained herein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, and the editor has exercised reasonable care to assure its accuracy.
