Carbon Monoxide Detection Requirements - 1hr - Recorded Webinar

Format: Instant Access Recorded Webinar

CEUs: Based on 1 contact hour of training (see CEUs tab for details)

Course Description: Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and toxic gas produced as a by-product of combustion. Any fuel burning appliance, vehicle, tool or other device has the potential to produce dangerous levels of CO gas. This presentation provides an overview of CO detection requirements based on NFPA 72 ‘Standard for the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code'. Common requirements for new and existing commercial structures will be covered as well as a discussion on the initial acceptance testing requirements contained in the standards. Participants will learn how the building code and NFPA 72 requirements impact CO detection systems and the growing adoption and enforcement of these requirements.

Learning Objectives:
• Understand the scope and purpose of how NFPA 720 was merged with NFPA 72.
• Explain the format of NFPA 72 and the chapter layout.
• Describe the inspection and testing requirements for CO detection systems.
• Learn how to properly record and document all inspections, tests, and maintenance of CO detection systems.
