Respond & Meet with Campaigners on Carbon Monoxide!
CO-Gas Safety joins with HolidayTravelWatch in again promoting safe use of all fuel burning devices, be that in a holiday or domestic setting. The Organisations also call upon Industry and Government to reveal all information concerning the by-products of combusted fuel and to create a Public Information & Regulatory regime that is fair, robust and at least raises awareness of and ideally protects Consumers from the scourge of CO+ (Carbon Monoxide & other Toxins)!
