Make the maintenance of your fuel-burning appliances, equipment and venting systems an absolute priority!

Have a trained, TSSA-certified fuels technician check your furnace, gas, stove, fireplace or fuel-burning appliances on a yearly basis.

Install a tested and certified CO (by CSA, ULC or other recognized certification body) alarm on each level of your home, cottage or boat cabin. These will warn you of rising levels of CO, giving you and your family time to escape.

Without CO alarms, the only way to know if CO is present is when the physical symptoms of CO poisoning become apparent... by then it might be too late to avoid injury.
