FAQs
What is Radon, and why would I need a survey?
Radon is an invisible, odourless, radioactive gas generally found in buildings. If you are selling a property in an area with a history of Radon issues, prospective buyers will usually request a Radon survey. If you are an employer in Dorset, your risk assessments must address Radon exposure.
Who needs a Radiation Protection Advisor?
Employers who carry out activities that involve work with Ionising Radiation in the UK have to engage a qualified RPA. Schedule four of the Ionising Radiations Regulations has guidance on the specific circumstances that require RPA consultation.
What training do you provide?
We provide Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) training, as well as general Radiation Awareness Courses, which are designed to ensure that employers are fully compliant with the regulations. Bespoke modules are available for various sectors, including veterinary practices, schools & colleges, and more.

What Is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil. It is colourless and odourless, making it impossible to detect without specialised equipment.
In some cases, it can also be present in water supplies and may accumulate in certain residential and commercial buildings in parts of Dorset. The World Health Organization identifies radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer.
Although low levels of radon are found in all buildings, higher concentrations are more likely in poorly ventilated spaces. Areas where there is more than a 1% probability of properties exceeding the recommended Action Level are classified as Radon Affected Areas.
Radon concentration is measured in becquerels per cubic metre (Bq/m³), with one becquerel representing a single radioactive decay per second.
