With over two decades of experience in Health Physics, Radiological Protection, and Nuclear Safety, Dr Paul Jarvis, Director of Jarvis Nuclear, brings considerable expertise gained on nuclear licensed sites, in defence, and within nuclear power. Additionally, he has provided consultancy to smaller organisations across the UK and overseas.
Since 2017, we have delivered Radon and Radiation Protection Advisor services throughout Redruth, including areas such as Tolgus and Chapel Street. We provide actionable, custom support for Radon, Radiation Protection, and Nuclear Safety, alongside customisable RPS training courses.
We work with homeowners, businesses, and educational institutions on Radon measurement and risk reduction, and we can also supply a Long-Term Radon Detector Kit or a Short-Term Radon Detector Kit to help you assess your own risk.
Where Does Radon Come From?
Radon is a naturally occurring, colourless, odourless radioactive gas formed by the decay of uranium in soil and rocks. Though undetectable by taste or smell, it can occasionally be found in water supplies too. Radon is present at various concentrations in homes and workplaces throughout Redruth, and the World Health Organisation identifies Radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking.
While all buildings contain some traces of Radon, measured in becquerels per cubic metre (Bq/m³), higher concentrations often build up when windows stay closed and heating is left on. An area is classed as a Radon Affected Area if there’s over a 1% chance of a property exceeding the recommended Action Level. If you’re worried about your exposure, our Radon for Homes and Radon for Schools & Business services can help you assess and manage it.

Radiation Protection Advisor Redruth FAQs
What is Radon, and why does it matter for properties in Redruth?
Radon is an invisible, odourless, radioactive gas that occurs naturally in rocks and soil. Parts of Redruth and the surrounding TR15 and TR16 postcode areas sit within Radon Affected Areas, so testing helps homeowners, landlords, and employers understand their real exposure.
Who needs to appoint a Radiation Protection Advisor (RPA)?
Any employer in Redruth whose work involves Ionising Radiation must appoint a certified RPA in writing. Schedule four of the Ionising Radiations Regulations 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 Redruth classed as a Radon Affected Area?
Some postcodes within Redruth and the surrounding TR15 and TR16 areas 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 Redruth?
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 Redruth property or business.
Do you offer RPS training courses near Redruth?
Yes, we deliver bespoke Radiation Protection Supervisor and Radiation Awareness training across Redruth and the wider Cornwall area, with modules tailored to sectors including veterinary practices, schools and colleges.
