4. WHERE TO PLACE CO ALARMS

4.1 Ideally a Carbon Monoxide Alarm should be installed in:

- Every room containing a fuel burning appliance, and

- Remote rooms where occupants spend a considerable amount of time

- Every bedroom.

However if the number of Carbon Monoxide Alarms is limited, the following points
should be considered when deciding where best to fit the alarm(s)

- If there is an appliance in a room where people sleep, place a CO Alarm in this room

and

- Locate a CO alarm in a room containing a flueless or open-flued appliance, and

- Locate an alarm in a room where the occupant(s) spend most of their time (e.g.

sitting room) and

- In a bedsit, the CO alarm should be placed as far away from the cooking appliance

as possible, but near to where the person sleeps and

- If the appliance is in a room not normally used, such as a boiler room, the CO alarm

should be placed just outside the room so that the alarm will be heard more easily.
