Carbon Monoxide Statement
IGEM has always recognised the important safety issue of preventing the release of carbon monoxide (CO) into enclosed spaces, for example the home or the workplace. IGEMs members are active in a range of safety-related panels within IGEM, and within other organisations such as BSI and government departments. Here, the issues of efficient combustion of gas and the provision of suitable flueing and adequate ventilation are recognised as paramount in the installation and maintenance of gas appliances and associated equipment.
IGEMs members are also active in groups considering Gas Safety legislation and Installer competence as both play a major part in promoting the safe installation and maintenance of gas appliances and associated equipment.
