DAVID HEATH WARNS OF CARBON MONOXIDE RISK

2.20.27pm GMT Mon 17th Nov 2008

David Heath MP has urged residents of Somerton and Frome to protect themselves against the threat of Carbon Monoxide poisoning this winter. Research shows that around 1.7 million households in the south west of England are putting themselves at risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning by not taking the necessary safety precautions.

A new national campaign has been launched to encourage people to use an audible carbon monoxide alarm. The 'Carbon Monoxide - Be Alarmed!' campaign also encourages people to have all their gas, oil and solid-fuel burning appliances serviced annually be a registered and qualified engineer. The campaign is backed by victims' charities, energy companies and professional organisations, and by Kirstie Allsopp, of Channel 4's Location, Location, Location.

Commenting David said:

"Audible alarms cost £15 and can be fitted in seconds. They could save you life. I urge every household to make sure that they have an alarm and that their fuel-burning appliances are serviced each year by a professional."

The 'Carbon Monoxide - Be Alarmed!' campaign came to Parliament on the 12th of November, David was amongst the Members who took part in a briefing held by the campaign. David also took part in a breath test to check his carbon monoxide levels - you'll be pleased to know that he is well!
