NIMBY - high to very high.
Plenty of deaths have occurred due to carbon monoxide [1] so in an industrial setting suitable tanks and piping and inspection system would be required as per other hazardous chemicals that are either gases or produce volatile vapours at room temperature.
The gas wasn't uncommon in gas fed households many decades ago when cities and towns relied on coal gas [2] - said to have around 10% carbon monoxide [3]

>Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin, forming carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) with a 220 times greater affinity to hemoglobin than oxygen.
