Never use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces. 

Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very 

quickly. When you use a portable generator, remember that you 

cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you can’t smell 

exhaust fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get 

to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide 

from generators can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death. 

If you experience serious symptoms, get medical attention 

immediately. Inform medical staff that carbon monoxide poisoning 

is suspected. If you experienced symptoms while indoors, have 

someone call the fire department to determine when it is safe to 

re-enter the building.

NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near 

combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufficient to carry 

away exhaust fumes. 

NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages, 

basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially-enclosed 

areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and windows or using 

fans will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up in the home.

Follow the instructions that come with your generator. Locate the 

unit outdoors and away from doors, windows, and vents that could 

allow the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors.

ONLY run generator outdoors and away from air intakes.

NEVER run generator inside homes, garages, sheds, or other 

semi-enclosed spaces. These  spaces can trap poisonous gases 

EVEN IF you run a fan or open doors and windows.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the generator, 

shut if off and get fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may 

have carbon monoxide poisoning.

Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon 

monoxide alarms with battery back-up in your home, according to 

the manufacturer’s installation instructions. The carbon monoxide 

alarms should be certified to the requirements of the latest safety 

standards for carbon monoxide alarms. (UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or 

CSA 6.19.01). 

Test your carbon monoxide alarm frequently and replace dead 

batteries.
