On the 7th of July 2022 GeoShield Director John Sparks was appointed as a Director for The Radon Council.

The Radon Council is the independent non-profit, self-regulatory body for the radon protection industry.

• A trusted source of impartial information for property owners and consultants.
• Support and membership benefits for contractors and suppliers.

The Radon Council is not a trade body. It is a not for profit organisation that educates and trains professionals in radon matters. These professionals vary from those in the building trade, to housing agencies, health protection officers, lawyers, estate agents etc. It sets standards that it expects its members to meet in any measurement, remediation and new build work that it undertakes to mitigate radon risk. The Council has the power to remove members and contractors from its lists if they do not match with the standards of the Council.

Those who undertake Council training have access to a very comprehensive manual – The Radon Manual – which sets out standards and also tells members about the theory, policy and practice around radon work. The Manual is made available to those who attend the training courses. The Council also works closely with organisations such as the BRE and the UK Health Security Agency on radon standards – being a key stakeholder in any government guidance that is produced.
