I run it on the flybridge (best for all around noise abatement except in our own salon), or a side deck away from the other boats (making it virtually noiseless more than 50 feet away on the opposite side).
I have 3 carbon monoxide detectors aboard and never run it while anyone is asleep.
With no windows, or doors open near it, I have never had a CO detector sound or even register any CO.
The slightest breeze carries it overboard. Even no breeze seems OK but then I put is where the exhaust is going right overboard.
I guess if you are totally clueless you could kill someone using one of these gensets...but in my experience, one used just to charge batteries or as a backup...plugged directly from the batt charger and handled properly...is no safety threat at all...IF you have a clue.
