The
Carbon Monoxide service is limited in many respects. Analysis of the data
is left to the health and safety manager who has access to the website.
The Carbon Monoxide page displays only a graph, with no computer analysis.
This is due to the subjectivity of whether Carbon Monoxide levels are too
high, and calls for personal judgement on the part of the operator.
The service would determine if a single level was too high, and automatically call the emergency services. The service conforms to British Standards Institution requirements i.e. an alarm sounds only after a certain period of time for lower CO levels, and sooner for high levels. This prevents false alarms. Relevant data on the home in question would be retrieved from a database to help the H&S manager viewing the webpage. The demonstration model is limited only to providing a dynamic graph of the output from a simulation sensor; there will be no calls to the emergency services, and, for simplicity's sake, CO levels will be simulated rather than real signals in a test chamber. |
