This year’s theme is Radon at the workplaces. The new EURATOM BSS 59/2013 is very much about protection of radon at the workplace. Therefore, ERA has prepared some posters to advise on radon protection at work. You can check the posters in different languages below and download them. Feel free to contact us if you wish to translate the poster into another language!
