Why it's dangerous
Suffocation
The product is not supplied with appropriate safety information or instructions for use. Diesel heaters must only be used in sufficiently ventilated spaces, without which the user is exposed to potentially fatal concentrations of carbon monoxide. The product, therefore, presents a risk of suffocation. Moreover, improvements are required to marking, labelling and documentation.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive.
