Personal Information: (for office use only)

In case of change in business as your certification applies to you as an individual, not to a company.

As a radon professional, Certified by the C-NRPP National Radon Proficiency Program, I hereby acknowledge, accept and profess to abide by the following code of conduct and ethics:

I shall endeavor to keep myself current and informed and satisfy continuing education requirements for my certification. I shall conduct myself in a professional manner befitting of my Certified status.

I shall proudly represent my certified status to the public I serve and I shall provide my professional C-NRPP certification number in writing to each member of the public (each customer job) for any radon service or system installation that I perform or supervise.

I shall do nothing to undermine, detract from, or otherwise cause to develop any damaging associations with respect to this certification. I accept that any activity on my part that will cause this certification any measure of injury serves as a breach and a failure on my part to uphold this code of ethics. Moreover, I accept that such actions for which I might be responsible could result in the revocation of my certification.

 

Guidelines include:

C-NRPP professionals should charge a reasonable price for their services.

C-NRPP mitigation professionals should provide some type of warranty wording to their clients.  If there are caveats added or changes to the warranty from normal it should be clear to the client.  The warranty period should be for a reasonable period. (such as 1 to 2 years) The warranty period should not be longer then the company is planning on being in business for.

C-NRPP professionals should be working within their area of expertise and shouldn’t be doing work which is outside their training or scope of expertise.

C-NRPP professionals should maintain a level of appropriate confidentiality when interacting with clients which includes following through on requests of confidentiality and not identifying customers by name and address in connection with their radon levels.  Information on radon levels should be given out in a general way by either postal code or community level rather then by name or specific address.  The exception for this is when permission has been asked and clearly given or when sharing data with a researcher or partner organization where a mutual agreement of confidentiality has been signed.

 

Protocols: I agree to conduct business in accordance with the protocols, standards and guidelines prescribed by the C-NRPP Policy Advisory Board (PAB) and (if certifying for Radon Mitigation) I agree to install radon mitigation systems in accordance with listed Mitigation Guidance documents below.

The list of standards currently approved by the C-NRPP PAB is:

Measurement Protocols (if certifying for Radon Measurement)

1. Health Canada's Guide for Radon Measurements in Residential Buildings
2. Health Canada's Guide for Radon Measurements in Public Buildings
3. C-NRPP Quality Control and Quality Assurance Manual for Radon Sampling and Analysis conducted by Radon Measurement Professionals and Laboratories Dec 2018
4. C-NRPP Protocol for Conducting Short-Term Radon Measurements in Air
5. CARST's Guideline for Conducting a Radon Screening Assessment as part of a Real Estate Transaction

Mitigation Guidance documents (if certifying for Radon Mitigation)

1. Health Canada's Reducing Radon Levels in Existing Homes: A Canadian Guide for Professional Contractors
2. National Standard of Canada: Radon Mitigation options for existing low-rise residential buildings: P29-149-012-2017-eng.pdf

I further agree to adhere to specific national, provincial or territorial protocols, laws, codes or regulations that exist for any radon service or system installation that I perform or supervise.

I hereby acknowledge and accept the following Disciplinary Policy:

C-NRPP Certification Disciplinary Policy: C-NRPP reserves the right to sanction or revoke the certification of any individual due to misconduct. The right to deny, revoke, discipline, or suspend a C-NRPP certification vested in the C-NRPP program and all decisions shall be verified and upheld by C-NRPP’s Discipline Committee.

The individual may make written submissions to the representative as may be designated by the C-NRPP Policy Advisory Board, in response to the notice received within such twenty (20) day period. In the event that no written submissions are received by the representative as may be designated by the C-NRPP Policy Advisory Board, may proceed to notify the individual that the individual is suspended or expelled from membership in the Corporation.

All arbitration awards shall be final and binding on the parties and enforceable by appropriate proceedings under the applicable laws of Canada. Unless otherwise instructed by the arbitrator, each party shall pay its pro rata share of the reasonable fees and expenses of the arbitrator.
