WHAT’S THAT ACRONYM? CARST AND C-NRPP For this segment of What’s that Acronym, we’re looking at a couple leading Canadian radon agencies. CARST, also known as the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists, is at the forefront of spreading awareness and education about radon. They provide resources and a platform for homeowners, professionals, and other interested parties to connect on matters surrounding radon. CARST members consist of a myriad of organizations, ranging from Government and Health Authorities to Cancer Agencies, Building Professionals, and more. Members attend an annual conference that focuses on education, offering speaking events from members and a full suite of continuing education courses for certified professionals. Our resident certified Radon Measurement Professional, Jeff Wright, attended the 2021 virtual conference in April. Click here to watch some of the great presentations. CARST strives to spread awareness about radon, its health effects, and how professionals mitigate radon. They are partnered with the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP) to provide the necessary training for Radon Measurement Professionals and Radon Mitigation Specialists. Having a training program in place upholds the integrity and standards of practice for radon mitigation and measurement specialists. C-NRPP lists their certified professionals right on their website for accessibility to anyone requiring radon services. This ensures dependable solutions and accurate information for those seeking these services. Although it is not legislatively required to have these certifications, it is recommended that clients ask their service providers for proof or look them up on the C-NRPP to ensure they are receiving the highest standard of care.
