is it mandatory to have a carbon monoxide detector in a warehouse?

BLOODHOUND

My boyfriend works in a warehouse in Buffalo, NY.
His father works for National Fuel and he came into the warehouse because Joe (boyfriend) kept getting head aches.. getting dizzy and migraines.
He said that the entire warehouse was measuring at at least 75 ppm
Then he told us that when it is even 35 ppm you should get a blood test if you have been feeling symptoms.

So Joe bought a Carbon Monoxide Detecter and put it in the warehouse .. and it keeps going off non-stop.. and his boss yells at him to take it down.

Here in NY.. i know that when you buy a house.. or rent a home.. the home HAS TO HAVE a carbon monoxide detector.
What about warehouses?

Joe is going to get bloodwork done this week..
His boss is being a real jerk about it.. calling him weak.. because he goes through so much aspirin from head aches and stuff.
Should he take legal action if his boss does nothing about the Carbon Monoxide?

Any advice would really help.. thank you so much.

Answer
yes he is creating a unsafe work environment

Are gas detectors mandatory?

Scott

I just moved into a new house and was wondering if gas (from a stove) detectors are mandatory, for a landlord to put in the house. I haven't asked him yet but will soon. The reason I ask is cause 3 months ago, friends of the family died because of it. Apparantly Grandma forget to turn off the stove and the house blew off killing 4 people instantly. Shouldn't there have been some sort of device the beeps of warns if it detects gas? Got me concerned hope u guys can help. Thanks.
Yea, I feel the same way but what I should of said and meant to, if its mandatory by law
I feel the same way but what I meant if its mandatory by law.

Answer
No, it's not mandatory or even necessary. Unlike carbon monoxide, fuel gas has an odor. In fact, the only place you can get a gas sniffer is from a trades supplier. They make hand held models for service technicians and models for commercial buildings. I don't believe there is a model for residential applications. If you smell gas, you call 911. If you go away for an extended amount of time, turn the gas off,

How difficult is it to pass the Home Study before adoption?

carbon monoxide detectors mandatory image

Frenchrina

I heard that it is very difficult to pass the Home Study, part necessary to be able to adopt a child, nationally or internationally.
Could someone tell me if they went through that; Their experience; Did they pass? How much time did it take all together? What is the social worker exactly looking for? (At home and in general)

Answer
Not necessarily hard, just very involved. You must have a stable home deemed safe for the child to live in. He or she must have their own room for the first year of their life, after which they may share a room with another child should more space be needed for another person. You will of course have to baby proof everything (cabinets, drawers, doorknobs, toilet lids, outlets, etc) and also have a ful, functioning fire extinguisher, working smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, & an emergency eveacuation plan set in place and practiced so everyone in the home knows what to do to get out safely in case of an emergency. My wife and I even bought a couple of those foldable ladders you hang from the window sill if you need to escape from a second or third story window (about $70 a piece). They weren't mandatory, but the DFS worker was thrilled to see we had thought ahead and went the extra mile. Add to that baby gates for the top and bottom of EVERY STAIRCASE IN THE HOUSE. also, you'll wanna get all mini blind cords and the like out of reach. Mostly just common sense stuff pretty much. Like I said, not a hard process, just very involved. You will also be interviewed IN DETAIL as to your financial ability to care for the child. You will be asked for AT LEAST 3 personal references and if you live with a spouse or significant other, you'll be privately interviewed on the subject of your better half (your relationship with them, their strengths/ weaknesses, how they and the child interact with one another. In addition to all this, you will most likely be asked to write AT LEAST a 2 page autobiography detailing different aspects of your personal life. Be prepared to answer a LOT of questions. Some easy, some maybe not so much, depending on your life. There is usually at least two visits to do the home study, on top of the regular monthly visits from your case worker. Add all this to the classes you'll have to take to get certified in CPR as well as a state certified foster parent (you cannot adopt without first getting certified) and all the court dates, & you can see why some people say its so hard. It really isn't though, just very involved and time consuming. Keep patient, and everything will go relatively smoothly. Once the home study is complete and you are certified thru the state, it's just a matter of getting the permanency planning committee to approve you (basically just a formality if you've already come this far) and then you can schedule one last court date for the adoption ceremony!!! It does take a while, but it's SOOOOO worth it!!!

Can you still go to the fire department and get a free smoke detector? Im in Chicago.?
