HDanger if you smell flue gas

HDanger to life from carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas, which arises during the
incomplete combustion of fossil fuels such as oil, gas or solid fuels.
Dangers arise, if carbon monoxide escapes from the heating system due
to a fault or a leak and collects unnoticed in enclosed spaces.
You can neither see, taste nor smell carbon monoxide.
To avoid danger from carbon monoxide:
▶ Have the heating system inspected and serviced regularly by an
approved contractor.
▶ Use a CO detector, which gives an alarm in good time if CO escapes.
▶ If you suspect a CO leak:
– Warn your neighbours and leave the building immediately.
– Call an approved contractor.
– Have any defects rectified.
