CO is a common industrial hazard resulting from the incomplete burning of natural gas and any other material containing carbon such as petrol/diesel, kerosene, oil, propane, coal, or wood. Forges, blast furnaces and coke ovens produce CO, but one of the most common sources of CO in the workplace is the internal combustion engine.
You may be exposed to harmful levels of CO in boiler rooms, breweries, warehouses, refineries, pulp and paper production, and steel production; around docks, blast furnaces, or coke ovens; or in one of the following occupations:
