Lutz Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Just sharing a recent experience as a bit of a PSA. I have a smallish shop and being a safety conscious fellow, have had a carbon monoxide detector from the get go. When I run the gas forge, I make sure I get some airflow. This weekend I was running a torch with a #6 rosebud pretty continuously and just happened to look at my CO detector and notice I was approaching 100 PPM. It never occurred to me that torch would be enough to start raising the levels in my shop. I quickly corrected that situation, but I thought this might be a good time to remind folks that if you don’t have a CO detector, it’s well worth the investment. Even if you are cautious, sometimes you’ll still get surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 It's a good cautionary tale! Thanks for posting. Going to maybe get a CO alarm so you don't have to remember to look at it? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutz Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Ha, I misspoke Frosty. I do have an alarm, I just happen to see the value before the actual alarm went off and clued me in to the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 So, you're the kind of guy who looks at the alarm BEFORE it goes off eh. I guess that just makes the cautionary tale even better. Very good, I like your style. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
