This poster serves as an important guide for ensuring your properties are safe. It highlights key indicators of a potential CO leak, such as a yellow or orange flame on gas hobs, increased condensation on windows, or a boiler pilot light that frequently goes out. Additionally, it outlines the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, including headaches, dizziness, and breathlessness. As a responsible landlord, you must ensure gas appliances are properly maintained and that tenants are aware of the dangers of CO. If there is ever a suspicion of CO poisoning, it’s vital to take immediate action—ventilate the property, turn off gas appliances, and seek emergency assistance to protect your tenants’ health and safety.
