Protecting my Kids

  • January 29, 2012 8:58 am

I heard a story on the news a few months ago about a whole family dying suddenly in their home from carbon monoxide poisoning, and it really got me thinking. Was I doing enough to protect my own family from this? We didn’t even have carbon monoxide alarms, and the reporter said that was the best way to tell if there’s anything to worry about since the gas is colorless and odorless. Without a detector, you might not even realize you were being poisoned till it was too late. You do experience feelings of dizziness, confusion and headaches, but what if it came while you were sleeping? You wouldn’t notice it then, and you probably wouldn’t wake up. That thought upset me because I have three kids, so I went right out and got a detector that very day. I now feel like we’re safer.

The more compact and inconspicuous it is, the lesser the chance of the product getting in the way. By using a product that has such a convenient design, it is much easier to meet safety standards. Fire safety standards have been developed based on trial and error and have been tested repeatedly. It is best to adhere to them, not only because of the risk of fines; the safety protocols in place will actually save lives in the event of a fire. Plus, the more things available that can prevent the fire’s spread, the better the chances of it being put out and not causing injuries. If you read the guidelines for fire alarms, there are usually recommendations that say the battery should be changed every year. For chubb dorgard devices, this is the same.
