Health Risks and Recommendations

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that may accumulate in enclosed buildings. Elevated radon concentrations are associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. The risk increases with higher concentrations and with tobacco use. This disclosure describes the facility's testing results and recommended steps to reduce exposure where indicated.

Recommended measures may include repeat testing, implementation of mitigation systems, increased ventilation, or targeted remediation of identified areas. Patients with respiratory conditions or a history of significant tobacco exposure should consult their personal healthcare provider about potential medical evaluation related to radon exposure.

I acknowledge that I have been informed of the facility radon test results and the potential health risks described above: I acknowledge receipt of these results

I understand I have the right to:

Request additional testing of the facility area where care is provided.
Request notice if future tests show elevated radon concentrations.
Consult my personal healthcare provider regarding medical implications of radon exposure.

Please indicate if you wish to be notified by the facility in the event of elevated radon test results in the future: Yes, notify me No, do not notify

What a Healthcare Radon Disclosure Is and Why It Matters

A Healthcare Radon Disclosure is a written statement attached to property or facility records that reports radon measurement results, testing methods, mitigation actions, and signatory attestations for healthcare facilities or properties used for patient care. It informs administrators, staff, tenants, and regulators about radon levels, any mitigation performed, and any ongoing monitoring plans. The form documents dates, lab reports, and responsibility for future testing, and it becomes part of the facility’s environmental health record and compliance file.

Primary purpose and advantages of the disclosure

A Healthcare Radon Disclosure provides transparent recordkeeping, supports regulatory compliance, reduces legal risk, and helps protect occupants by documenting radon levels and mitigation actions in a standardized format.

Who typically completes and receives this disclosure

Recipients include internal safety officers, tenants, accrediting bodies, and, where required, state or local health departments.

Hospital and clinic administrators responsible for facility safety and regulatory filings.
Facility managers and property owners who lease or operate healthcare spaces.
Environmental consultants and radon measurement labs providing test results and mitigation reports.

Step-by-step: completing a Healthcare Radon Disclosure

Follow these core steps to create a complete, defensible disclosure record for a healthcare facility.

01

Gather details: Collect facility name, address, room IDs, and property owner information.
02

Perform or obtain test: Record test date, duration, and accredited lab or device used.
03

Enter results: Report radon level in pCi/L, include mitigation status if above action levels.
04

Sign and store: Authorized party signs, date added, and copy retained in environmental health file.

How to configure an online disclosure workflow

Typical digital workflows combine a fillable disclosure form with signer routing, authentication, and secure storage.

Retention: Support for PDF/A export and locked archives.

Primary risks and consequences of incorrect disclosures

Liability: Legal claims for nondisclosure or inaccurate results.

Regulatory fines: Penalties from state health or licensing authorities.

Operational risk: Delayed mitigation can affect patient and staff safety.

Contract issues: Breach or indemnity claims under leases or agreements.

Evidence gaps: Incomplete records hinder insurance and defense.

Privacy breach: Improper handling of PHI can trigger HIPAA violations.

Common preparation mistakes to avoid

Failing to record the exact test method and duration, which undermines the result’s credibility and comparability.
Entering results without attaching the laboratory certification or chain-of-custody documentation required by some jurisdictions.
Omitting the signatory’s title or authority, causing disputes about who can validate the disclosure for the facility.
Using inconsistent units or rounding excessively; always report the lab-provided value in pCi/L with decimals.

Essential sections to include in a professional disclosure

A complete Healthcare Radon Disclosure contains identifiable sections that support clarity, traceability, and legal defensibility.

Property Identification

Facility name, physical address, room or area identifiers, and owner or operator contact information to tie results to a precise location.

Test Results

Numeric readings in pCi/L, decimal precision, and whether values are spot measurements, averages, or long-term results.

Test Methodology

Device or lab name, short-term or long-term test, duration, and chain-of-custody or laboratory accreditation details.

Mitigation History

If mitigation was performed, record method, installer, dates, warranties, and post-mitigation verification results.

Disclosure Statement

Clear language stating that the document records radon measurements and mitigation status and explains limitations of the test results.

Signatures and Dates

Authorized signatory with printed name, title, date of signature, and any required notarization or witness attestations.

Real-world disclosure scenarios

Two practical examples illustrate how facilities document testing and mitigation outcomes for transparency and compliance.

Community Hospital

A regional hospital recorded elevated radon in its basement utility rooms and ordered mitigation

Environmental team installed a depressurization system and retested three months later
The disclosure attached lab reports, mitigation invoices, and a dated sign-off from the facilities director to inform staff and regulators.

Medical Office Lease

A property manager provided radon test results before renewing a physician practice lease

The tenant requested mitigation contingency language in the lease
The disclosure documented test dates, pass/fail thresholds, and the party responsible for any required mitigation work.
