Dr Paul Jarvis, Director of Jarvis Nuclear, brings over 20 years of experience in Health Physics, Radiological Protection, and Nuclear Safety.

We have delivered Radon and RPA services to Ivybridge and the wider South Hams since 2017, offering practical, tailored support in Radiation Protection, Radon, and Nuclear Safety.

For added peace of mind, you can also purchase a Long-Term Radon Detector Kit or a Short-Term Radon Detector Kit to assess your own risk.
What Is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas, colourless and odourless, produced by the gradual decay of uranium in rocks and soil. It can also seep into water supplies. Certain parts of Ivybridge and the surrounding Dartmoor fringe sit within Radon Affected Areas, so levels can vary considerably between neighbouring streets. The World Health Organization ranks Radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking.
While every building contains trace amounts of Radon, measured in becquerels per cubic metre (Bq/m³), concentrations tend to rise in poorly ventilated properties. A Radon Affected Area is defined as anywhere with more than a 1% chance of exceeding the recommended Action Level.
If you’re concerned, our Radon for Homes and Radon for Schools & Businesses services can help you assess and manage the risk properly.

Radiation Protection Advisor Ivybridge FAQs
What is Radon, and why does it matter for properties in Ivybridge?
Radon is an invisible, odourless, radioactive gas that occurs naturally in rocks and soil. Parts of Ivybridge and the wider South Hams sit within Radon Affected Areas, so homeowners, landlords and employers may need to test for it as part of routine property checks or workplace risk assessments.
Who needs to appoint a Radiation Protection Advisor (RPA)?
Any employer in Ivybridge whose work involves Ionising Radiation must appoint a certified RPA in writing. Schedule 4 of the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 sets out the specific circumstances that require RPA consultation.
Radiation Protection Advisor (RPA) vs Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) - What's the difference?
An RPA is an external specialist who advises an employer on legal compliance and technical radiation safety matters. An RPS is usually an employee, trained through our RPS courses, who supervises radiation work day-to-day on site.
Is Ivybridge classed as a Radon Affected Area?
Some postcodes within Ivybridge and the surrounding South Hams fall within areas where Radon can exceed the recommended Action Level. Testing your specific property is the only reliable way to know your actual reading.
How does Radon testing work, and how long does it take?
We offer a 90-day Long-Term Detector Kit for a full risk assessment, and a quicker 10-day Short-Term Kit for an initial indication. The short kit is useful for a first check but isn’t suitable for remediation decisions.
What happens during an RPA consultation or site visit in Ivybridge?
We review your premises and working practices, assess your exposure to Ionising Radiation, and provide written advice covering compliance with Schedule four of the Ionising Radiations Regulations, tailored to your specific site.
How much does hiring a Radiation Protection Advisor cost?
Costs vary depending on the size and complexity of your premises and the scope of advice required. Get in touch for a tailored quote based on your Ivybridge property or business.
Do you offer RPS training courses near Ivybridge?
Yes, we deliver bespoke Radiation Protection Supervisor and Radiation Awareness training across Ivybridge, Devon, and Cornwall, with modules tailored to sectors including veterinary practices, schools and colleges.
