Mandatory Carbon Monoxide Alarms in Public Accommodations
New regulations mandate the installation of carbon monoxide alarms in all public accommodations, such as hotels and motels, to enhance safety. Owners of these establishments will be required to inform guests about compliance with the new standards. This aims to protect citizens' health and lives from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Key points
All public accommodations, including hotels, motels, and guesthouses, will be required to install certified carbon monoxide alarms in every sleeping or dwelling unit.
Owners of these establishments must provide written notice to guests upon check-in, confirming compliance with the carbon monoxide alarm requirement.
