"At Union Gas, the safety of our employees and our communities is our most important core company value," said Egbedeyi-Emman- uel. "And we share that commitment by sup- porting much-needed programs like Project Zero and the Carbon Monoxide Awareness Program that helps us all stay safer." Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless toxic gas that is often re- ferred to as the "silent killer". Exposure to CO can cause � u-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, burning eyes, confusion, drowsiness and even loss of con- sciousness, without the elevated temperature associated with the � u. In severe cases, CO poisoning can cause brain damage and death. � e elderly, children and people with heart or respiratory conditions may be particularly sensitive to CO. Over 80 per cent of carbon monoxide-related deaths and injuries in On- tario occur in the home. A new law amended the Ontario Fire Code in October 2014 to ensure that every home and residential building with a fuel burning appliance, � replace or an attached garage must have a working carbon monoxide alarm. Compliance was required by April 2015 for residential buildings with six or less suites and October 2015 for multi-residential buildings with more than six suites. CO detectors are required near all sleeping areas in residential homes and in the service rooms, and adjacent sleeping areas in multi-residential units. CO alarms can be hardwired, battery-operated or plugged into the wall. When properly installed and maintained, combination smoke and CO alarms help provide the early warning that is needed to safely escape from a house � re or CO exposure.
