The purpose of this virtual workshop is to raise awareness of carbon monoxide risks for people who work in the homes of vulnerable people

You may not really have thought about carbon monoxide risks in your day to day work, both to your client and to you. There is a duty of care to both of you. This online, hour long workshop is aimed at front line staff from social care, NHS, FRS, voluntary and private sectors working in the UK.

The Think CO online workshop will tell you more about the sources, signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, how to help prevent it and what the implications are to you and your client. In particular, we focus on long term, low level risks which can have serious consequences and help you spot and address the risks. As more vulnerable people are spending time at home, the risks increase.

The online workshop is a mix of presentation, scenarios and practical exercises. Only the presenters will be on video, but participants can ask (or type) questions as we go along. We expect the workshop to last just over an hour, but there will be an opportunity to ask further questions.
