Plumbing Trade Supplies has given its employees, nearly 5,000 of them, CO detectors to test their homes for carbon monoxide.
PTS, the plumbing and heating supplier is driving home its carbon monoxide awareness message by ensuring its staff make their houses carbon monoxide free.

Alan Ball, managing director of PTS, said: 'PTS staff, and indeed all employees within the BSS Group plc, now have their own CO detector following the start of our campaign to make more people in the industry aware of the importance of gas safety. As well as making sure our staff are safe, this supports the initiatives that we as a company are continuing to work on this year in addition to my continued work on the CORGI board of trust.

'The group has more than 4,800 employees in total and if just one extra household is moved to buy a CO detector or get their boiler serviced thanks to the recommendation of our staff, all of our efforts will have been more than worthwhile.'
