Authority&#8217;s (SSM) regulations on radon in workplaces SSMFS 2018:10 apply according to Section 1 to anyone who conducts activities in an environment with ionizing radiation, anyone who employs someone in such an activity and self-employed persons with workplaces or workplaces where the radon content in air exceeds the reference value of 200 becquerels per cubic meter (Bq\/m<sup>3<\/sup>) air according to the Radiation Protection Ordinance (2018:506) Chapter 3. 6 \u00a7.<\/p>\n<p>Employers (those who hire labor) for activities where the radon level exceeds the reference level as an annual average shall notify this to SSM in accordance with Section 4 or Section 5 of SSMFS 2018:10.<br \/>Notification must be made on a form provided by the Authority.<\/p>\n<p>Certain workplaces must be notified in accordance with section 5 of SSMFS 2018:10.<br \/>For activities with a particularly high risk of workers being exposed to radon, where workers are at risk of receiving an annual radon exposure exceeding 0.72 megabecquerel-hours per cubic meter (0.<sup>72bMBqh\/m3<\/sup>) during working hours (this value corresponds to an exposure of approximately 400 <sup>Bq\/m3<\/sup>), this must be notified to SSM.<\/p>\n<p>Section 5 applies to certain underground activities involving rock or mining work, construction work or similar.<br \/>A notification under section 5 must be made for each workplace, unlike a notification under section 4, which must be made once for the entire activity.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that a new measurement of the radon content needs to be made at least every ten years in connection with the renewal of the notification under section 4.<br \/>A notification under section 5 shall be renewed at the latest within five years of the date of the last notification.<\/p>\n<p>A renewed notification under sections 4 and 5 shall include current measured values of radon levels in air.<br \/>Measurements to determine radon exposure to workers shall be made by methods that provide a representative value of radon levels and the equipment used for measurement shall be calibrated to a quantity with international traceability.<\/p>\n<p>The notification obligation started on April 9, 2019 and the notification must be received by the Authority by July 9, 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority is now devoting more resources to the supervision of activities whose staff are exposed to higher levels of radon.<\/p>\n<p>Low radon levels must be sought at all underground workplaces and measurements must be taken regularly, but at least once a year in accordance with the Swedish Work Environment Authority&#8217;s regulations on rock and mining work AFS 2010:1 \u00a7 27.<\/p>\n<p>Employers who do not carry out measurements must
