Activation of the carbon monoxide alarm indicates the dangerous CO level presence.
If the alarm sounds:
(1)Immediately move to fresh air outdoor or open all doors and windows to ventilate the area and allow the carbon monoxide to disperse. Stop using all fuel-burning appliances and ensure, if possible, that they are turned off;
(2)Immediately inform all other people to evacuate to safe outdoor regions with fresh air and count noses; ask for help from first-aid agencies by dialing or other means, safely ventilate the house after first-aid personnel arrives to eliminate the dangerous source. Professionals without oxygen supply and gas defense equipment shall not enter the dangerous regions again before the alarm removes the alarm status. If someone is poisoned by carbon monoxide or is suspected of having been poisoned by carbon monoxide, please turn to the emergency medical institutions for help immediately.
(3)If the alarm continues to sound, then evacuate the premises, alerting other occupants to the risk. Leave doors and windows open. Do not re-enter the premises.
(4)Get medical help for anyone suffering the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
(5)Telephone the appropriate appliance servicing and maintenance agency necessary, the relevant fuel supplier on their emergency number, so that the source of carbon monoxide emissions can be identified and corrected. Unless the reason for the alarm is obviously spurious, do not use the fuel-burning appliances again, until they have been checked and cleared for use by a competent person according to national regulations.
