Carbon Monoxide

CO is not long term cumulative (barring any brain damage caused) - what do you mean?

Agreed, but I'm reminded of the Terry Pratchett line: "Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life".

Irrelevant, as the Health and Safety Executive are nothing to do with the hospital H&S department. Their job is to ensure that H&S departments do their jobs properly.

If you simply contact the local office and tell them of your concerns, they will send an inspector round, who will be fully qualified to assess whether or not you are right. If you are, they will issue a notice requiring the employer to take action. Provided the employer does what is required, that will be the end of the matter.

That would depend on whether anyone else knew he had seen the problem and failed to report it. You can be jailed for not reporting a health and safety problem these days.

I would report it with no hesitation, I have physically gone and stopped machinery that was dangerous and reported a lose bit of metal on the wings of a plane stopping it taking off. Nobody gets upset if you save their life.

That is complete garbage, you should delete it before anyone that cares about you reads it!

BTW there is Ice water and water vapour outside at this present time so its easy to see an environment where water in solid, liquid and gas exists at the same time.

It takes a while to make new blood cells to replace the poisoned ones so it is a cumulative poison that will kill you over a few days if the dose is high enough (or even quicker at high doses).

There is no need to fall out. You should have made your point and then retired. You have told the person affected and he can proceed as he thinks fit.

But the detectors you buy are for CO.

Having read this, it is clear that you are an ignorant fool. You appear not to know the difference between fission and fusion, or that the latter has nothing to do with radium and uranium, which, by the way, cannot be produced by any chemical process.

On human timescales, the sun *will* last forever. It's only half way through its 10 billion year life at present.

And regarding the Bible. Only simpletons take it literally. For one thing, from original texts, it has been translated, copied, copied again, translated again, and copied again to produce the book that you will read. And you can find a text within it to support one point of view, and another to support the opposite point of view - on a variety of topics.

Where did ii say it was okay to do nothing? If you have serious concerns act on them and stop fannying around.

I do. Thank you for not being a sarky git :-)

'Send three and fourpence - we're going to a dance'

That doesn't really count.

Otherwise any poison is "cumulative".

I asked a question about BACS transfers being slow despite the fact my bank had the new improved fast version.

"I think you are confusing your terms - there's BACS and there's Faster Payments".

Oh FFS... I hate nomenclature pedants.

If you use BACS it will still take a couple of days. If you use the different Faster Payments its a few minutes (or seconds). If you don't know they are different you may have a problem if you use the wrong one.

Two possibilities: report (probably to the HSE) or don't report it.

Each has possible outcomes which you need to weigh up. Not reporting could end up with one or more deaths occurring and you being charged with some offence for not doing anything about a serious HSE issue and never being allowed to work there again. Reporting could end up with someone ignoring your report, someone being pissed off at your making that report, some difficulty in working there in future.

I really cannot understand why you have asked the question here. It might have some general interest as an issue but this is not uk.morals-and-ethics.

For simplicity, my view: Report it sensibly and properly and live with a clear conscience.

It's simple - I don;t get a choice.

To me and 99% of the other punters, it's BACS if you pay direct to another account with account number and sort code.

The bank uses FP if it is available, otherwise old style BACS.

So I really don't care what it's called and neither does the bank when they face me.

Please continue as if I wasn't here. Everyone else does. It gives the feeling of consistency despite the complete anarchy. Or have I poked a few holes in some of the socks on here do you think? Some of the characters seem to have gone quite mad, mad, mad, mad, mad. It all started when I took off Martin Brown's dress.

Funny that. Is there any reason why several pundits on here want to rip me apart? Or is it my definitive optiatheopticity?

the cells are NOT damaged. They simply have to outgass the CO and absoeb O2 and or Co2
