With any type of heating - gas, oil or open fire - get them checked regularly and its not a bad idea to make sure the house is well ventilated to ensure any unwitting build up of carbon monixide has some means to escape.  Of course, having a carbon monixide alarm installed is a good way to go and make sure its batteries are regularly checked.
