Kingswood School in Bath admits exposing several children and staff to the radioactive gas.
A private boarding school has been fined £50,000 after exposing five pupils, two employees and their children to high levels of radioactive radon gas.
The radioactive gas radon is a hazard in many homes and workplaces, and breathing it in is the second largest cause of lung cancer in the UK. HSE principal specialist inspector Stewart Robertson, said: "The fine imposed on Kingswood School Trustees Limited should underline to everyone in the education sector that the courts, and HSE, take a failure to follow the regulations extremely seriously."An investigation by the HSE found the school knew they had a radon problem as far back as 2007 when they carried out monitoring and installed some remediation to reduce radon levels.
