The Radon Council
The Radon Council came into being in 1991 in response to a request contained in the Interim Report of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Indoor Pollution, which called upon industry to provide a solution to the radon problem. It is the Independent non-profit making Regulatory Body for the radon industry and should not be confused with a trade association.
The first objectives were to identify the "cowboy" operators and dubious training courses then in practice. Later there followed a first edition of a training manual and an agreed Code of Practice for the industry. The Council has now drawn up an Approved List of Contractors offering advice and services involving remedial work for radon gas.
