AudioLINK Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms in all of its properties in West Wales. The Association is Pembrokeshire's local housing association, providing over 2,300 homes.
The decision to fit CO alarms into its
properties was based on the desire to provide the best safety measures for all residents. Antony James, Maintenance Manager for Pembrokeshire Housing, said: "We place the safety of our customers above and beyond the statutory landlords' responsibilities under the gas safety regulations and see the use of CO alarms as a positive move in general regarding gas safety management.” The decision to go with Aico Ei208 CO alarms was based on the positive experience the Association had using Aico's smoke alarms within the same properties. Aico's Ei208 CO alarm has a sealed in Lithium
battery, which overcomes the potential problem of battery removal by the resident. It has recently been upgraded to a 10-year life

attraction as Maintenance Manager Antony James explains: "It has the potential to save time and resources as it can rule out false alarms, other alarms sounding, battery depletion, unit faults etc., from being CO incidents. The process for measuring and investigating ambient CO in domestic properties can be very time consuming. "The background CO report is great for identifying a defective cooker grill fret that is slowly getting worse, whilst the alarm removed report is useful in assessing if you have the full picture of CO incidents. Multiple removals would prompt a full safety check." Pembrokeshire Housing has reported 100% gas compliance every quarter for the last five years. Fitting CO alarms is just another gas safety measure for Pembrokeshire Housing who are used to putting their efforts and resources into gas safety and the safety of their customers.
