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 Somerset, 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?
A naturally-occurring radioactive gas formed during the breakdown of uranium present in rocks and soil, Radon has no smell or colour. Occasionally, it can also be found in water supplies at various levels, as well as in some domestic and commercial properties in parts of Somerset. According to the World Health Organization, Radon is the second most common cause of lung cancer.
Whilst all buildings contain small amounts of Radon, higher levels are typically found in structures that are not well aired. Any location with an over 1% chance that a property might have higher levels than the recommended Action Level is deemed a Radon Affected Area. Radon levels are measured in becquerels per cubic metre (Bq/m³), where one becquerel is equal to one radioactive decay per second.
