19. ver monitors have sensing limitations and may not always sound a warning in the presence of CO The monitor will not operate if the battery power is low or dead CO monitors must be tested regularly to ensure that they are receiving power and operating properly Carbon monoxide monitors cannot sense CO that does not reach the monitor and therefore CO monitors may not detect CO which is in another area of the building Furthermore if the CO monitor is located on a different level of the building or on the other side of a closed door it may not alert everyone at risk The use of drugs and alcohol may impair ones ability to hear the alarm If you have a multi level building install CO monitors on each level If the monitor is installed in a hallway and any office doors are kept closed install a CO monitor in each room If the monitor is installed in a large open area one monitor should be installed for every 1000 square feet of vertically unobstructed space Although CO monitors can help save lives by providing an early warning to the presence of carbon monoxide they are not a substitute for an insurance policy Property owners leaseholders and renters should have adequate insurance to protect everyone s health lives and property 10 GOOD SAFETY HABITS DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two escape routes from each room Second story and higher windows may need fire escape bui
