What is the sensor high alarm limit of CO as per the Multi RAE Lite SOG?

The sensor high alarm limit for carbon monoxide (CO) is set at 35 parts per million (ppm) according to the Multi RAE Lite Standard Operating Guidelines (SOG). This limit is critical in ensuring that personnel are alerted to potentially dangerous levels of carbon monoxide exposure, as prolonged exposure to CO can lead to serious health risks, including carbon monoxide poisoning. Having a high alarm set at this level provides a crucial safety measure, enabling timely action to avoid harmful exposure.

Establishing appropriate alarm limits helps to ensure that firefighters and other emergency responders remain safe while performing their duties. By being aware of the 35 ppm threshold, firefighters can take necessary precautions, such as evacuating the area or using personal protective equipment if there's a likelihood of CO exposure beyond this limit.
