Require cabin boats using UK inland waterways to have Carbon Monoxide detectors

Closed 161 signatures

What the petition asks

The Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations 2015 refer to rented properties but the number of deaths from Carbon Monoxide poisoning on boats is increasing. Each year boaters die or are made seriously ill from CO poisoning. Boats are built to keep water out but this also traps gases and fumes.
