FAQs
What is Radon, and why would I need a survey?
Radon is a colourless, odourless, radioactive gas. It is present in most homes and businesses. If you are selling a house in a radon affected area, your buyers will now ask for a Radon survey. If you are an employer, your risk assessments should include Radon.
Who needs a Radiation Protection Advisor?
A Radiation Protection Advisor (RPA) must be consulted if employers conduct activities that involve working with Ionising Radiation. Schedule four of the Ionising Radiations Regulations provides further details of when an RPA needs to be consulted.
What training do you provide?
We offer Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) training, and general Radiation Awareness training. This helps to ensure that employers are compliant with regulations. Options are available for sectors such as Radon, veterinary practices, schools & colleges.

What is Radon, & Where Does It Come From?
Radon is an odourless, colourless, radioactive gas, which is naturally produced during the radioactive decay of Uranium, found in soil and rocks. You cannot taste Radon, but it can sometimes be detected in water. It exists in varying concentrations in workplaces and homes and, according to the World Health Organisation, is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
All buildings contain some level of Radon; however, higher concentrations are often found when windows are closed, and the heating is on. An area is classified as a Radon Affected Area if there is more than a 1% probability of Radon levels exceeding the Action Level. Radon concentration is measured in becquerels per cubic metre (Bq/m³). The becquerel is a unit of radioactivity that represents the number of decays per second.
