Peventing Gas Deaths - Industry Callout


 
Gas Sector Urged to Do More to Prevent Carbon Monoxide Deaths
Department for Work And Pensions Press Release
5 December 2006
John Hutton, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and Lord
Hunt, Health and Safety Minister, are today calling upon the gas,
energy and heating industries to do more to reduce the number of
people who needlessly die from carbon monoxide poisoning.  Every
year between 20 and 30 lives are lost because domestic gas
appliances have not been properly installed or maintained, but
nearly half of homes receive no information about how to stay
safe.
