Safelincs Supports Carbon Monoxide 'Be Alarmed' Campaign
Safelincs supports the national campaign to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by carbon monoxide. To coincide with the campaign promotion it is offering a carbon monoxide alarm at a reduced price.
Online, January 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - 'Carbon Monoxide - Be Alarmed!' is the national campaign to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by carbon monoxide. Too many people in the UK die, or become seriously ill, from carbon monoxide poisoning. It is a highly poisonous gas that has no colour, taste or smell, making it impossible to detect without an alarm.
These incidents could be prevented if there was greater awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide and if everyone had fuel burning appliances serviced annually and fitted an audible carbon monoxide alarm in their home.
Householers are at risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning if:
• A fuel burning appliance was incorrectly or badly installed
• An appliance has not been safety checked and serviced annually
• A chimney or flue is blocked or has not been swept regularly
• There is no audible Carbon Monoxide alarm fitted and working in the home
Taking a few simple steps will help to prevent needless deaths and long-term health damage.
To coincide with the 'Carbon Monoxide Be-Alarmed!' campaign and until Wednesday 26th January, Safelincs is offering a Kidde 900-0233 carbon monoxide detector at the special discounted price of £19.99 instead of £26.46.
