Radon Mitigator

**WE ARE HIRING**
**RADON MITIGATOR POSITION**

**INTRODUCTION**
The first question you may have is, What is a Radon mitigator?
Let me explain.

A Radon mitigator’s work includes both building science and construction.
Radon mitigators design, optimize and install systems that will reduce the indoor Radon levels in buildings in order to prevent exposing the occupants to elevated levels of radiation.

“What is Radon?” Is that your next question?

Here are a few stats and links to more Radon information

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is present almost everywhere.
Approximately 3% of the Earth’s crust is made up of Uranium, which creates Radon gas.
Radon seeps into our buildings without any indicators and accumulates
It is Invisible, Odourless, Colourless and Tasteless
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
Radon kills 3000+ Canadians per year.

**Who is Radon Repair**
Radon Repair is a customer service company first, we just happen to fix radon in buildings. Radon

**Finding our Who**
Radon work is unique and can be very challenging and exciting. Being exposed to a wide range of construction disciplines will help you to become the best mitigator possible. Those who can use a variety of tools and are adept at performing calculations while understanding the physics behind radon ingress will achieve great things in this industry. Even after years of experience, Radon mitigators will continue to learn new techniques and methods with each building we work in.

We will work with you to train you on all things Radon Repair while supporting you on your quest to become a Canadian certified mitigation profession al with the C-NRPP.

**What to Expect**
You will not become a Radon mitigator by us hiring you, you must follow the proper path to radon mitigation that has been developed by C-NRPP along with our in the field training. You will start training to become a Radon mitigator on Day 1. The education path starts with the measurement certification and is followed by mitigation certification.

**Radon Measurement**
A form of air quality testing, using Radon specific devices that will identify radiation in the air.
You will enrol in the C-NRPP’s radon measurement certification and pass the measurement exam.

**Measurement Responsibilities**
Advise clients on the options for testing their buildings for indoor radon gas
Site visits to determine locations and quantity of testers required for each building
Record keeping
Tester retrieval
Results interpretation
Client report delivery
Answering Radon related questions
Follow all Canadian guidelines and protocols
Some overnight travel

**Radon Mitigation**
Radon mitigation is very different from measurement, you must understand how to measure and how Radon enters the home so you can understand how to fix it. Radon mitigation combines building science for diagnosis and optimization with construction elements for installing optimal
Radon systems in new and existing homes. Mitigation courses and exam will be taken only after measurement certification has been achieved as well as all internal Radon Repair mitigation training.

**Mitigation Responsibilities**
Site diagnosis, building science and construction experience are used at each step.
Suction point and exhaust point identification
Sub slab suction pit excavation
Pressure Field Extension diagnosis and system design
Fan selection and optimization
Slab to ground sealing to ensure efficient radon reduction system is installed
Opening sub slab pathways to ensure sub slab air flow. (Sub slab boring)
Understanding air exchange systems and their affect on indoor Radon levels
Risk Identification (Backdrafting, asbestos, silica, mould and radon re-entrainment, etc)
Project documentation
Core hole drilling in concrete, walls and roofs.
Working with vapour barriers in crawl spaces, some confined space work.
Sealing holes (concrete mixing and caulking)
Cutting and gluing pipe
Continuing Education
Customer Service
Follow all Canadian Radon guidelines and protocols
Follow Canadian Building Code
Interpret engineer design drawings
Maintain in
