Radon gas can affect properties of any type, any age and in any location. Health & safety legislation exists that requires all employers to carry out a radon risk assessment, so it’s vital that the impact of this is considered when purchasing a commercial property.

This webinar will cover the basics of what radon is, what the health effects are and how buildings can be tested as well as the duty of care that employers and landlords have and what steps should be taken pre-purchase to limit future liability.
