What does the SGM standard require clients to be informed about before starting work?

The SGM (Standards for Radon Mitigation) standard emphasizes the importance of ensuring a safe working environment and effective mitigation practices. One of the critical components of this standard is informing clients about the need for ventilation. Proper ventilation is essential in radon mitigation because it helps reduce the concentration of radon gas within a space and ensures that any potential radon released during the mitigation process is adequately dispersed.

By making clients aware of ventilation needs before beginning work, mitigation specialists can ensure that appropriate measures are in place to protect both the workers and the occupants of the space. This communication is vital for client education and safety, ensuring that everyone understands how ventilation factors into the overall effectiveness of radon mitigation and maintains indoor air quality during and after the procedures. The focus on ventilation aligns with best practices in radon mitigation, reinforcing the role of adequate airflow in achieving successful outcomes.
