Tell us your story!
Have you had a carbon monoxide poisoning experience? Maybe you have used an illegal gas worker and paid the consequences?
CORGI/COCAA is looking for people who are willing to talk about their real-life experiences. If you have a story to tell and you would like to become a media volunteer for CORGI/COCAA, please complete the case study form. A member of our press team will then be in contact with you shortly.
CORGI has worked with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) to produce a series of videos that illustrate different circumstances in which carbon monoxide may prove fatal.
To view these films, simply click on the links below. Please note: these are very large files and, depending on the speed of your connection, may take some time to download.
