Radon Education Programs

Air Chek strongly supports quality educational programs for its customers, whether it be for individuals entering the radon field or seasoned professionals wanting to stay current and renew their certifications through continuing education. This is why we have made special arrangements for our clients to obtain quality educational programs from the Center for Environmental Research and Technology (CERTI) at a "preferred customer" discount. If you are interested, follow this link to CERTI Training. Contact Shawn Price at shawn@radon.com or call (800)247-2435 x812 if you have questions.

Radon Certification

In addition to taking inital radon courses, we encourage our inspection, testing, and mitigation clients to obtain certification through the NEHA-National Radon Proficiency Program (NEHA-NRPP) upon completion of the courses. To become certified, students must pass an examination for the desired certification category. Air Chek will be hosting these (NEHA-NRPP) exams on the first or second Saturday of each month. To see the exam schedule go to radon-pro.com, and click on "Training Programs". To schedule an exam, please contact Shawn Price at shawn@radon.com. Questions regarding NEHA-NRPP requirements should be directed to 1-800-269-4174 or visit their website, neha-nrpp.org.

Due to our large FedEx volume, Air Chek has secured a discount plan which allows us to supply you with FedEx return "Billable Stamps". We have Standard Overnight and 2-Day stamps available. The way it works is that you prepay us for the stamps; and, when you use them, FedEx bills Air Chek directly. The prices depend upon the type of stamp and the originating delivery zone of the return package. Use our Fedex Return Mailer Pricer to get pricing for return mailers in your area. You can also call us during normal business hours at 800-247-2435 or send an e-mail to info@radon.com.Please be sure to include your zip code in the message.

New Radon Standards

The American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST) has been working to develop updated radon standards. The US EPA last updated their testing and mitigation protocols in the early 1990s. AARST has used the EPA protocols as a starting point and is working to refine and update the documents to reflect current industry practices. A new Multi-Family testing protocol has been developed and is in place as an interim standard. Two additional standards (Homes Protocol and the ASD Mitigation Protocol) are in the public review stage and are soon to be released as final standards. If you want more information or would like to get involved, visit the AARST website at www.aarst.org.

One of the new features allows you to dial the direct extension of the person you need to reach. To speak with Nancy dial extension 811, for Melissa dial 814, to reach Shawn dial 812, Mike's extension is 813, and accounting's extention is 816.
