Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas generated by the decay of minerals present in many rocks and soils.

It is present virtually everywhere, but usually only in very low concentrations.

Whilst harmless when able to escape to the atmosphere, radon can pose chronic health risks to your building’s occupants when allowed to accumulate.

In some circumstances, radon can accumulate inside buildings particularly in natural low points. For example, basements and stairwells.

This can present serious chronic human health risks and is known to cause some types of cancers.

As radon is colourless and odourless, you need specialist equipment to identify any radon hazards present in your buildings. That’s where GGS can help!

 

Using continuous and periodic monitoring techniques we can:

  • accurately assess and quantify actual level of risk at your site or building
  • advise on mitigation or remedial options where we identify elevated radon concentrations

We can advise on options to manage elevated radon concentrations either at construction design stage or retrospectively.

Using our services can help :

  • ensure occupants are protected from serious chronic health hazards due to radon
  • you implement either preventative or remedial measures to manage elevated radon levels
  • you install low cost preventative measures by allowing you to design them into your building from the outset
  • managers of commercial and public buildings meet their legal duty to protect occupants from harm (for example, duties under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Ionising Radiation Regulations 1999)
