Heating Safety
June 19th, 2010
Fire safety is a key issue in connection with heating systems, industrial heating and private usage alike. One of the most common problems and causes of deadly accidents is carbone monoxide poisoning. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a natural product of incomplete combustion. That includes wood, kerosene, gasoline, oil, propane, or natural gas. CO is a toxic, tasteless, colorless, and odorless gas. Even small amounts can cause severe illness and even death. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, faintness, drowsiness, pain in the ears, or seeing spots. Many people often mistake CO symptoms for the flu. If you or any of your family members are experiencing flu-like symptoms that seem to disappear when you leave your home, have your heating system checked immediately. It is crucial that if you suspect a carbon monoxide problem, open the windows and leave the building immediately.
