that can kill you. You CAN NOt smell or see this gas.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning

resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have

these signs, the space heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at

once! Have space heater serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon

monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, persons with heart

or lung disease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those

at high altitudes.

Never use a space heater in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces without

proper ventilation. Use only in well-vented areas. Before using space heater,

provide at least a three-square-foot (800 square cm) opening of fresh,

outside air for each 100,000 Btu / Hr (30 kw) of rating. Space heaters can

produce high levels of carbon monoxide very quickly. When you use a space

heater, remember that you cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you

can’t smell exhaust fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a space heater, get to fresh

air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide from space heaters

can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death.

If you experience serious symptoms, get medical attention immediately.

Inform medical staff that carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected. If you

experienced symptoms while indoors, have someone call the fire department

to determine when it is safe to re-enter the building.

combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufficient to carry away

exhaust fumes.

NEvER run space heaters inside homes, garages, sheds, or other semi-

enclosed spaces without proper ventilation. These spaces can trap poisonous

gases EvEN IF you run a fan or open doors and windows. Use only in well-

vented areas. Before using space heater, provide at least a three-square-foot

(2800 square cm) opening of fresh, outside air for each 100,000 Btu / Hr (30

kw) of rating.

the requirements of the latest safety standards for carbon monoxide alarms.
