Do you know what a radon affected area is? Does your school lie within one? Does your school have a basement?

This session will cover:
What radon is and the health risk it poses to staff and students
Your legal obligations as an employer and landlord
Recent enforcement action by the Health & Safety Executive, including prosecution and a £50k fine for an independent school
How to ensure compliance in your school
By the end of this session, you will understand whether there are any gaps in your current radon policy (or how to start one!) and if so, the steps needed to protect the health of your staff and students, ensure compliance and avoid an HSE investigation.
The session will be led by Rebecca Coates, Head of Radon Projects at PropertECO and former Chair of the UK Radon Association (UKRA). Since co-founding PropertECO in 2011, Rebecca has managed national radon testing and mitigation programmes for major clients including high street retailers, banks and hotel chains.
