Carbon Monoxide Safety Reminder: Carbon monoxide can come from common sources such as BBQs, charcoal grills and briquettes, outdoor heaters, gas lanterns, petrol-powered tools like pressure washers, and engine exhausts from cars and boats.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may include headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, tiredness, fainting, confusion, and weakness. Prolonged exposure can lead to more serious effects such as seizures, loss of consciousness, permanent brain injury, or even death.

If you suspect carbon monoxide exposure, call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 for advice. In an emergency, dial 000.

Do not expose yourself while helping others - move to fresh air first before calling for help. Carbon monoxide is highly toxic, so stay alert and take precautions.
