Beware carbon monoxide - it's a silent killer

Victorian families are being urged to get their gas heaters serviced at least every two years in a new campaign designed to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. The media campaign features Scott and Vanessa Robinson, the parents of Chase and Tyler Robinson who died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning in their Mooroopna home in May 2010. 

Carbon monoxide is caused by faulty, unserviced heaters and you can't see it or smell it. 

Keep your family safe this winter and book a service today with your local plumber/gasfitter. You'll find a list in the Yellow Pages or some advertise in local papers.

Information for doctors

Energy Safe Victoria wants to remind medical practitioners about the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. 

It can be hard to diagnose as the symptoms are similar to many other ailments often seen during the cooler months.
