Health and Safety Corner
1. Home Heating systems:
During the cold winter months home heaters are in high use. They can also be very dangerous. Here are some safety tips to remember when using various types of home heaters, including space heaters, fireplace heaters, and central air heating systems.
Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet from all heat sources including fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators, space heaters or candles.
Never use an oven to heat your residence
Turn space heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed. Also, be sure to use space heaters in compliance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Maintain heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected annual be qualified professionals.
2. Carbon Monoxide poisoning:
Carbon monoxide, also known as CO, is called the “invisible killer” because it's a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. It is undetectable to the human senses, so people may not know that they are being exposed.
CO poisoning can occur when a fuel-burning appliance or machine, such as a furnace, heater or generator, is not working or vented properly.
Did you know:
Breathing in CO at high levels can be fatal. More than 150 people in the United States die every year from accidental nonfire-related CO.
