BBC Radio Bristol approached the UK Radon Association following the news that Kingswood School in Bath had been found guilty of failing to protect staff and pupils from the dangers of radon in an HSE investigation.

Dr Maria Dugdale, Chair of UK Radon Association discussed the case with BBC journalist Steve Yabsley and provided insight into the requirement for employers to carry out a radon risk assessment, as well as the long term dangers of radon exposure.

Maria signposted listeners to where to find further information on radon, including the interactive maps at www.ukradon.org and the UK Radon Association website which includes a directory of members providing radon testing, mitigation and consultancy services.
