The National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association (NBFAA) recommends the following safety tips for protection against carbon monoxide poisoning.
  • Install CO alarms outside each sleeping area of the home and on each floor of the home. For greater protection, connect the CO alarms throughout the home so that when one activates, they all activate.
  • Adhere to all manufacturer’s guidelines and instructions for installation.
  • Identify and store all local emergency contact numbers for a CO alarm emergency.
  • Program these numbers in your cell phone as well, in case you are not at home when an alarm activates.
  • Test monthly and confirm that each CO alarm is operating properly to the manufacturer’s instructions. Read more.
