Following the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report of last week, my Department noted that one of our offices is located in a high risk radon area. Accordingly, my Department is taking immediate steps to ensure that radon testing is undertaken both in that office and all of our home offices , in accordance with EPA requirements and our commitment to staff wellbeing and the safety and security of our workplaces.
