摘要：A project of prevention and control of accidents by inhalation of
carbon monoxide in buildings of the district of Providencia, Chile, was
implemented since 2002 in order to minimize the risks for the
inhabitants together with reporting and sensitizing to the community
about the topics of combustion of domiciliary gas and their regulations
and to help to find solutions to the detected problems.
Methodology: The project focused on the solution of problems derived
from building´s gas combustion systems deficiencies, by capacitation of
relevant actors and acting as a clearing house by means of
coordination between technical organisms and suppliers and financers
of solutions, in order to help the communities to fulfill the safety
regulations for their gas facilities so they could opt to obtain the green
stamp that is given by the Superintendence of Electricity and
Fuels(SEC).
Outcomes: The number of communities that joined the project from
2002 until 2008 were 519, with more than 750 enabled persons. They
received support about technical and legal aspects to achieve the green
stamp that in Chile is given to buildings with safe ventilation and
combustion systems.
The project benefits spread to all the residents of the buildings subject
to the intervention because until 2008, 46 % of the communities that
were integrated to the project had obtained the greenstamp and 13,2 %
the situation of delayed inspections or absence of inspection had been
regularized, with the SEC. In addition a 7,5 % of communities started
the improvements of their systems to be reassessed by the national
authority (SEC). Therefore, 342 communities with 27.184 apartments
and 62523 inhabitants who represented 66,5 % of building residents of
the district, obtained important advances in their levels of
environmental health and safety in indoor gas combustion.
