Overview

Just because you can’t see something, that doesn’t mean it isn’t lurking there. Chances are you’ve heard of asbestos, carbon monoxide, and other workplace hazards you can’t always see. But what about radon? That naturally occurring, invisible gas that lives underground and accumulates inside buildings.

Radon is radioactive, and long-term exposure to high levels can have serious health consequences. That’s why workplace legislation requires all employers to carry out a radon risk assessment.
