Florida Accomplishments in 2022 for Testing and Certifying Measurement Professionals

Florida Accomplishments in 2022 for Testing and Certifying Measurement Professionals

“Florida has regulations in place regarding mandatory testing in early education centers, schools, and some 24-hour care facilities (including nursing homes, assisted living facilities and hospitals). During the State Indoor Radon Grant reporting cycle for 2022, the Florida Radon Program sent reminder emails to these facilities about testing requirements, which resulted in a significant increase in testing for facilities, with nearly 390 facilities reporting test results. Through these outreach efforts, Florida has seen an increase in buildings tested and has encouraged more people to become state-certified radon measurement professionals. The state certified 50 new measurement professionals last year.”
