A school in Bath has recently been fined £50,000 and ordered to pay £19,222 in costs as a result of failing to assess the risks from exposure to radon gas. HSE reports that five pupils at the school were exposed to levels of radon almost 8 times the legal limit and two other children, who were not pupils at the school, were exposed to levels of radon almost 14 times the legal limit. Two employees at the school were also exposed to high levels of radon during the period in question. HSE Principal Specialist Inspector (Radiation) Stewart Robertson, said “We will not hesitate to take action against companies, including schools, who do not do all that they should to keep people safe. Every workplace needs to consider radon as a risk to its employees and others”.
