PHE- Radon in workplace basements
From: Public Health England
First published:19 July 2016
Part of: Radiation: PHE-CRCE report series
"Radon is a recognised lung carcinogen. Regulations exist in the UK that limit the exposure to radon at work and require employers to take action if levels exceed certain thresholds. As radon levels in individual buildings cannot be predicted, PHE offers a routine measurement service, which has been in operation for around 30 years.
This report uses the pre-mitigation radon results in basements of around 3500 workplaces that have been measured with passive monitors as part of the PHE routine measurement service."

There is no such thing as a "stupid" or "daft" health and safety question!
