Radon Remedial Measures for Existing Buildings

Learn about radon remediation and the best measures to reduce radon levels in existing domestic and non-domestic buildings with this online short course, drawing from BRE’s expertise. 

Radon is a radioactive gas that can accumulate inside buildings and pose health risks. Recognised to be the second largest cause of lung cancer after smoking, it is a hazard in many workplaces and homes.

Identifying and addressing high radon levels is important for keeping people safe and ensuring compliance with legal requirements. Under UK regulations from the HSE, employers must assess the potential radon risk within their premises, including education, health and residential buildings as well as offices, warehouses and shops. There are also duties for landlords who rent out accommodation in radon-affected areas. Additionally, it is recommended that homeowners evaluate radon levels in their properties to protect the health of those living there.

Developed by BRE’s radon experts, this course covers radon remediation, explaining the different radon remedial measures available, including radon sump systems and ventilation systems, to help you determine which one is most appropriate based on building type and radon levels.
