Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week
From 18th to 24th November 2024, we are proud to support Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week. This annual campaign highlights the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and underscores the critical importance of compliance with the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022.
As the colder months approach, and with the ongoing pressures of rising energy costs, understanding and adhering to these regulations is essential to protecting lives and ensuring properties are safe and compliant.
Fire Places and Chimneys
As autumn approaches it’s the time to not only service boilers and heating systems, but also to check that ‘real fires’ are safe and well-maintained.
The Smoke Detector and Carbon Monoxide Regulations 2015, further amended in October 2022 introduced the requirement for Carbon Monoxide detectors to places where there is ‘solid fuel’. it is of paramount importance to ensure that the safety of wood-burners and live fires is high on the agenda of landlords and property managers.
