Airtech, the condensation, mould and radon specialists, is once again supporting UK Radon Awareness Week (6 - 12 November 2023) by helping raise awareness of the gas. Run by the UK Radon Association, this year’s UK Radon Awareness Week is aiming to ensure members of the public have a greater awareness and understanding of radon and the health risks it poses. Airtech is therefore advising households, private landlords and employers, to learn about radon and its health effects and to carry out a radon test in homes and workplaces to help protect families and employees.

social housing

National Social Housing Safety and Compliance Week  is calling for the whole social housing supply chain to unite behind ‘Together for Safety’, a new movement to improve resident safety.

The Week, spearheaded by the Association of Safety and Compliance Professionals (ASCP), is an annual event dedicated to shining a spotlight on safety and compliance at an operational, strategic, and cultural level. It also supports Dame Judith Hackitt’s calls to act faster and address safety cultural issues in the sector. And with the advent of The Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, the ASCP believes that the Week also has a role in helping to redefine the standards of social housing in the UK. Now in its third year, the campaign will launch a new movement ‘Together for Safety’. This movement recognises that no one person or department, or organisation can deliver safe homes for residents – it involves the whole supply chain coming together.
