If you're an employer located in a designated radon affected area, you have a legal requirement to carry out radon testing. The same applies to residential landlords. Don't risk enforcement action for non-compliance #radonaware
UK Radon Awareness Week finishes in two days and I haven't been able to post all week!! But better late than never. The same with Radon monitoring. The ONLY Way to KNOW is to MEASURE. #RadonAware
#AskAStupidQuestionDay is, according to #Wikipedea followed by schools in the US. There is a problem with Radon in many States. But in the UK, children and alduts should be asking question, where #RadonTesting is needed? I will answer ANY questions (on Radon) nothing is stupid.
#AskAStupidQuestionDay tommorow.
Get your Radon questions ready.
SPOILER ALERT There are no stupid questions with regards to Radon.

Is your school located in a radon affected area? Do you know what’s in the air staff and pupils are breathing? The UK Radon Awareness Week #GiveMe5 campaign tells you 5 quick things you need to know about radon in schools #radonaware #schools #healthandsafety
Radon in the workplace is another respiratory health risk. Save a life. Measure Radon and where needed mitigate. #Radonaware #GiveMe5.
At an inspection of a worktop manufacturer, a HSE inspector found a lack of water suppression and poor housekeeping that was putting workers' respiratory health at risk. The company was given an Improvement Notice to ensure workers’ health is protected. workright.campaign.gov.uk/ca…
Radon, although still a significant cause of lung cancer, #AirPollution is a massive problem. #radonaware #GiveMe5. Save a life. Please measure Radon at home and work, and mitigate if needed.
99% of the world’s population is now breathing polluted air.
#AirPollution kills around 7⃣ million people each year across the 🌎🌍🌏.
90% of those affected live in low- & middle-income countries.

Simple advice can be found at @UKRadonAssoc and #radonaware #GiveMe5. PLEASE measure and if needed mitigate. Save a life.
