Carbon Monoxide Scare
Zamboni and other ice surfacing machines that run on gas power are in the news again as several incidents over the past couple months resulted in several hospitalizations. In Colorado CO exposure caused over 80 people to seek medical care. The incident was caused in part by the ice resurfacer and a broken damper motor prevented fresh air from coming into the facility. HVAC systems need to be properly maintained including regular inspections. CO detectors should also be installed in all facilities just in case.
