SAFETY
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that can kill you.
You CANNOT smell or see this gas.
•
Use the generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or
doors that could allow the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors.
Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any
structure or building during use.
•
NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages,
basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially
enclosed areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and
windows or using fans will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up
in the home.
•
NEVER use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed
spaces.
•
Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very
quickly. When you use a portable generator, remember that you
cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you can't smell
exhaust fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide.
•
NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near
combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufficient to
carry away exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious
injury or death.
•
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get
to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide
from generators can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death.
•
If you experience serious symptoms, get medical attention
immediately. Inform medical staff that carbon monoxide poisoning
is suspected. If you experienced symptoms while indoors, have
someone call the fire department to determine when it is safe to
re-enter the building.
