CO-Gas Safety is an independent registered charity which works to try to reduce accidents from Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning and other gas dangers. We lobby for changes, which will help to achieve this. We also help and advise victims whenever we can.
That this House notes that CO-Gas Safety, the independent charity committed to reducing accidents from carbon monoxide and other gas dangers worldwide, reaches its 10th anniversary on Tuesday 25th January; congratulates CO-Gas Safety on all its achievements in the last 10 years, during which it has pushed for and achieved a British Standard for both carbon monoxide detectors and flue gas analysers and set up a unique database of deaths from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning from all fuels as well as an informative website at www.co-gassafety.co.uk; acknowledges that CO-Gas Safety has raised awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide, especially from solid fuel, and has given help, advice and support to hundreds of injured people and bereaved families; is gravely concerned that the Health and Safety Committee recommendations in 2000 have not all been implemented; and urges the Government to implement them as soon as possible.
