Re: CO ALARM PROCEDURES

[robertlbass@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Our standard procedure was (I sold my CS a few years ago) to call the
fire department immediately upon receiving a signal indicating carbon
monoxide danger.  Next we would call the premises to make sure everyone
exited the building until the FD cleared it.

One problem with CO poisoning is that by the time you realize something
is wrong you may be unable to help yourself.  Since it's colorless and
odorless, clients can't tell it's there.  Sometimes they will tell you
that all is well and ask you to cancel the FD.  My suggestion is that
you politely refuse.  Let the firemen check the place with a CO tester.
