Carbon Monoxide Safety Training Matters

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a deadly, invisible gas that can strike without warning: at home, on the job, and in the field. Despite its risks, CO poisoning remains one of the most under-recognized public health threats in the U.S. Through expert-led training, NCOAA is equipping professionals, first responders, and communities with the knowledge they need to detect, prevent, and respond to carbon monoxide exposure. This growing training library empowers individuals to close safety gaps and take action to protect lives.
