Are you obliged to measure radon or just want to do a voluntary radon measurement at your workplace, and you wonder how it works? Radonova makes it easy for you to perform a radon measurement.

Start by determining the number of detectors you need and then go to our online store to place your order.

Once received, place the detectors according to the instructions provided while noting the details related to the measurement. At the end of the measurement period, return the detectors to the laboratory. You will receive an analysis report within two week.

Employers must comply with the UK Ionising Radiation Regulations 2017. This legislation requires employers as far as reasonably practicable to ensure the health and safety of employees and other people who have access to their work environment, for instance, members of the public in shops and schools.
Radon should be identified as a hazard if you have a workplace with one or more of the following circumstances:
Your building is in a radon Affected Area
Your building has a basement area that is occupied for more than 50 hours each year
You operate a mine, cave, or are responsible for any underground environments
Your business involves a suspected radon source such as ground water (e.g. water treatment works) or stored geological samples.

However, Radonova recommends to measure the radon systematically because no map makes will ever guarantee completely the presence or the absence of radon in the indoor air.

To define how many detectors are needed to measure a workplace can be a real challenge.
For radon measurement in the workplace, Radonova recommends following International Radon Measurement Association (IRMA) guidelines. This means you will also comply with the United Kingdom’s method description. The advantage of IRMA’s guidelines is that their recommended measurement procedure helps to save time. It’s important not to have to return to conduct additional measurements due to having deployed too few detectors. You can work out the number of detectors you need using IRMA’s guidelines.

You can measure at any time of the year and your result will be seasonally adjusted according to PHE seasonal correction factors

As a reminder, these measurements must be performed with an alpha trace detector over a period of two months minimum.
