Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week Starts 22nd November

The Gas Safe Charity is offering free carbon monoxide (CO) Zoom workshops this Autumn to help launch Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week on the 22nd November. As the days get colder and the heating is turned on, the potential risks of CO poisoning increase. The workshops last about an hour and are a mix of practical information and interaction.They are aimed at staff and volunteers from any organisation that delivers a service in the home of a vulnerable person. This could be face to face or telephone support. The focus is on the sources, signs and symptoms of CO poisoning and the risks around low level poisoning and what actions to take if you suspect this.

If you would like to book a place, please click on this link: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/115618952399 or if you prefer e-learning, then email us on e-learning@gassafecharity.org.uk

If your interested in this topic, we have produced a short video with Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service, aimed at the South Asian community – the link is here: https://youtu.be/RyHgCkIYw1E
