🏫🍃 Ensuring your workplace is safe and healthy is our top priority at PropertECO. With radon being the second leading cause of lung cancer, compliance with health and safety standards is crucial to mitigating this silent threat. In fact, The UK’s Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) mandates that employers, as far as reasonably practicable should ensure the health and safety of employees and other people who have access to their work environment. This includes a suitable and sufficient risk assessment and taking appropriate action where necessary. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) advises that radon should be identified as a potential hazard and measurements to assess the concentrations in a building should be taken if any one of the following apply: ✅ It is in a radon affected area   ✅ It has a basement that is occupied for more than 50 hours per year   ✅ It is a mine, cave, or other underground environment   ✅It has a suspected radon source such as ground water or geological samples   Whether you’re an employer or homeowner, we are happy to assist.
