Safeguarding Our Communities

Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the U.S. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CO kills 500 people every year and sends more than 20,000 to emergency rooms annually. Because you cannot see, taste or smell the poisonous gas, the only safe way to detect carbon monoxide fumes is with a working CO alarm.

The mission of the PSHC is to provide a voice and platform for lawmakers, emergency service organizations, and concerned individuals who want to enhance the safety and security of single- and multi-family homes within the Commonwealth through legislative means.

In the near future, we are anticipating the introduction of legislation that seeks to safeguard our communities from the dangers of CO poisoning. Similar measures have already been passed in 21 other states as well as Philadelphia.
