Episode notes
Always Wear A Personal CO Monitor
- Do wear a personal CO monitor (wearable) whenever you work on gas-fired equipment, especially during heating season.
- Clip it to your pocket or tool bag so it stays with you and warns you automatically.
Replace Disposable Monitors Before They Die
- Do replace single‑use CO monitors before their end-of-life and heed the countdown display or dying beeps.
- Track the device life (months/days/hours) and swap units proactively to ensure continuous protection.
Numeric Readouts Improve Rapid Risk Assessment
- Modern single‑use CO monitors can display real-time ppm and offer earlier detection thresholds than older models.
- Seeing numeric readings (e.g., 13, 45, 175, 210 ppm) helps diagnose severity and urgency immediately.
