Ensure you have a working carbon monoxide alarm in the same room as any heating appliance which does not run off electricity.

Remember to switch off heaters & extinguish fires before sleeping to reduce your risk of fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.

If you’re tired, you’ve been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, don’t cook. Prepare a cold snack instead.
