PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CO-GAS SAFETY TENTH ANNIVERSARY (24 January 2005)

That this House notes that CO-Gas Safety, the independent charity committed to reducing accidents from carbon monoxide and other gas dangers worldwide, reaches its 10th anniversary on Tuesday 25th January; congratulates CO-Gas Safety on all its achievements in the last 10 years, during which it has pushed for and achieved a British Standard for both carbon monoxide detectors and flue gas analysers and set up a unique database of deaths from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning from all fuels as well as an informative website at www.co-gassafety.co.uk; acknowledges that CO-Gas Safety has raised awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide, especially from solid fuel, and has given help, advice and support to hundreds of injured people and bereaved families; is gravely concerned that the Health and Safety Committee recommendations in 2000 have not all been implemented; and urges the Government to implement them as soon as possible.
