If you're Working in underground structures or in close contact with soil, you may be at risk for Radon exposure. Radon is an invisible, odourless, tasteless, radioactive gas formed by the disintegration of uranium in the soil. Radon is present everywhere in small amounts, but high Radon levels can occur in regions where the rock or soil is rich in uranium. High levels of Radon are linked to lung cancer. In fact, long-term exposure to Radon gas is the second highest cause of lung cancer after smoking. If your work involves spending extended periods underground, or if you're Working in caves or excavations, be aw are that Radon can be a dangerous workplace hazard.
