Updated guide on reducing the risk of radon in the workplace published

摘要

BRE has issued updated guidance for managers on how to reduce the risk of exposure to radon in the workplace. The second edition of the report, Radon in the workplace, has been thoroughly updated to include lessons learned and changes in legislation since the mid-1990s. Over the last 20 years with increased knowledge and mapping of radon levels, attention has turned from exposure in mines to exposure in buildings used for general work purposes. 'This guide is specifically aimed at managers, maintenance staff and building contractors who may be asked to determine whether a building has a radon problem or to reduce known elevated radon. levels,' said Chris Scivyer, author of both editions of the report and the leading UK expert on radon and buildings.
