The Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17) apply to any employer undertaking work in an atmosphere containing radon gas at an annual average concentration in air exceeding 300 Bq/m³.

Aurora’s team of RPAs will work with Clients to ensure that the risk from radon gas is managed to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable while ensuring that costs remain proportional to the potential reduction in risk.
