Silent Killer
It is a deadly gas that can't be seen, and can't be smelled.
Deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning are made even more tragic by the fact that they can so easily be avoided.
The installation of detectors can alert people to the accumulation of carbon monoxide before it is too late. It is a small price to pay to save innocent lives.
It is imperative that the dangers of carbon monoxide are highlighted to ensure that all property owners put health and safety at the top of their list of priorities.
