Alert on dangerous heaters after guard's death

Article Abstract:

The HSE has alerted companies of the dangers of using gas heaters in enclosed spaces following the death of a security guard in an office on a building site. Companies are particularly being warned about the use of such heaters in places such as freight containers that have been converted into site accommodation or storage units. Companies must ensure that there is enough ventilation in site cabins so that heaters do not become starved of air and produce undectectable carbon monoxide or LPG vapour.
