Even those who believe they are educated on CO and fire safety and are equipped with CO and smoke alarms are at risk according to First Alert’s study, which revealed that two thirds (66%) of U.S. households are not in compliance with the national recommendation for the number of smoke alarms set by the National Fire Protection Association (www.nfpa.org). Even more alarming is the 90% of homes that do not meet the recommendation for number of carbon monoxide detectors, including 40% that report having zero working carbon monoxide detectors.

Run kitchen vents or exhaust fans anytime the stove is in use.  The kitchen stove is among the most frequent sources of CO poisoning in the home.  To help eliminate danger of overexposure, always run exhaust fans when cooking, especially during the holidays when stoves are left on for longer periods of time.  Also open a nearby window periodically when cooking to allow fresh air to circulate.

Never use electric generators indoors.  In the case of a power outage, portable electric generators must be used outside only.  Never use them inside the home, in a garage or in any confined area that can allow CO to collect.  And, be careful to follow operating instructions closely.

Have fuel-burning appliances inspected regularly. Arrange for a professional inspection of all fuel-burning appliances (such as furnaces, stoves, fireplaces, clothes dryers, water heaters and space heaters) annually to detect any CO leaks.
