State officials launching carbon monoxide safety initiative
Kentucky government is launching a new statewide initiative aimed at carbon monoxide safety.
Governor Andy Beshear on Wednesday said as part of the initiative, the state will be working with local building personnel and the Department of Education to conduct proactive inspections of aging buildings, beginning with schools, daycares, and senior living facilities. These inspections will include checks of furnace rooms, HVAC systems, kitchen equipment, and emergency monitoring devices to ensure current safety standards are met.
The Kentucky Public Protection Cabinet says carbon monoxide is responsible for hundreds of preventable injuries and fatalities nationwide each year. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure include headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and fainting.
Officials recommend the following safety tips related to carbon monoxide:
-Install carbon monoxide detectors on each level of a building and near sleeping areas. Replace the batteries in the devices twice a year.
-Have HVAC systems, chimneys, and vents inspected annually. Never block ventilation openings or air returns.
-Don’t use ovens, stovetops, or grills to heat indoor spaces. Keep fuel-burning equipment outdoors and at least 20 feet from buildings.
If you suspect symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure, evacuate immediately. Visit the Kentucky Department of Housing, Buildings, and Construction website for more information.
