Carbon monoxide poisoning
Carbon monoxide (CO) is sometimes called “the silent killer” – and for good reason. You can’t smell it, see it or taste it, and yet a leak – from a faulty boiler, fire, gas cooker or wood burner, for example – can be deadly. Not only for young children, but for all the family.
Thankfully, these types of accidents don’t have to happen. There are plenty of steps you can take to ensure you and your family are safe – at home, or on holiday.
