EASTLAKE, Colo. - An unfortunate argument used regarding carbon monoxide (CO) testing is that "it's not my job." From HVAC service technicians to emergency personnel, some employees may be reluctant to put themselves on the line and measure CO levels. However, "Personal safety is every service provider's job," according to the Carbon Monoxide Safety Association (COSA).
The new association's goal is to raise CO awareness at all levels of the building community, including occupants and servicers, and to provide training, information, and additional tools to provide safe work and home environments, the association said.
