Question 36723 — tourism and leisure

Summary

Mr. André Villiers questions the Minister of Culture about the standards applicable to tourism professionals in caves, regarding exposure to radon. Recently, the threshold was lowered from 400 to 300 becquerels. The dose coefficient also increases from 1.4 to 6. Naturally, we know that radon gas presents a risk to the health of workers and it is useful and welcome to strengthen health and preventive measures, especially more during covid times. Underground tourism represents long-term jobs. This activity is seasonal. It needs flexibility to survive, given recent financial losses due to covid-19. The increase in preventive measures rather than the reduction in working hours seems to the MP a more appropriate path and submits it to the benevolence of the Minister. He wants to know if these standards apply to all sites or if certain sites are differentiated. He would also like to know the ministerial contact person on the subject.
