Description
Carbon monoxide (CO) can be almost impossible to detect as it is a colourless, odourless and tasteless toxic gas which interferes with the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.
CO is also known as the silent killer, as it can cause a fatality without warning. There are a lot of incidents where people die from CO poisoning, often because of using gasoline powered equipment in buildings or partly enclosed spaces not adequately ventilated.
The impact carbon monoxide poisoning has on your body includes neurological damage, illness, coma and death.
Our carbon monoxide toolbox talk helps keep employees safe and reduce health and safety issues in workplaces where heavy equipment and petrol powered tools are used and there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
