The vinyl floor tiles and mastic are non-friable and are in good condition.

Vinyl floor tiles which were presumed to be non-asbestos were done so based on historical knowledge of

the date of installation as described by the client.

If either the vinyl floor tile or the mastic contains asbestos, the composite of the materials are considered

an asbestos-containing material.

In areas of the building where mastic was not sampled and analyzed, it is presumed to contain asbestos

unless further sampling proves otherwise.

Non-asbestos VFT-01.


Refer to additional photographs in Appendix IV.

3.9 Levelling Compound

Two samples of levelling compound were found in the vinyl floor tiles samples collected during the

assessment. Both samples were found to be non-asbestos. Additional samples of levelling compound

are required to prove that the material is non-asbestos.




Levelling compound is often used in random and isolated areas and without removing all flooring may not

always be detected.

3.10 Caulking

Interior hard grey caulking along windows contains chrysotile asbestos (previously sampled 551302871

212A-CLK-1A). Caulking is non-friable and is in good condition.

Grey caulking along door contains chrysotile asbestos (previously sampled 551302871 2nd Stair B-CLK-

2A). Caulking is non-friable and is in good condition.

Exterior grey caulking along windows contains chrysotile asbestos (previously sampled 551302871 305-

CLK-8A). Caulking is non-friable and is in good condition.

Remaining exterior and interior caulking is presumed to contain asbestos until further sampling proves

otherwise.

3.11 Presumed Asbestos Materials

A number of materials which might contain asbestos were not sampled during our assessment due to

limitations in scope and methodology. Where present, these materials must be presumed to be an

asbestos material and are best sampled during project planning and preparation of contract documents

for their removal. Materials presumed to contain asbestos include:

• roofing, felts and tar

• concrete floor levelling compound

• vinyl floor tiles mastic

• elevator and lift brakes

• electrical components or wiring within control centers, breakers, motors or lights,

insulation on wiring

• moulded plastic components (laboratory bench tops)

• vermiculite in concrete block wall cavities

• adhesives and duct mastics

• caulking

• fibre reinforced paints and coatings

• paper products under wood flooring or metal or slate roofing

• mechanical packing, ropes and gaskets




• fire resistant doors or metal clad finishes

4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1 General

Perform a detailed intrusive assessment prior to building renovation or demolition operations. The

assessment should include destructive testing (i.e. coring and/or removal of building finishes and

components), and sampling of other hazardous materials (lead, mercury, PCBs, mould, etc.) and

materials not tested in this study (e.g. roofing materials, caulking, mastics).

4.2 On-going Management and Maintenance

The following recommendations are made regarding on-going management and maintenance work

involving the asbestos materials identified.

4.2.1 Asbestos

Perform a reassessment of asbestos materials on an annual basis. The next re-assessment of ACM

should be performed prior to March 2018 to remain in compliance.

Remove all ACM prior to alteration or maintenance work or if ACM may be disturbed by the work. Follow

appropriate asbestos precautions for the classification of work being performed.

Update the asbestos inventory report upon completion of any abatement and removal of ACM.

APPENDIX III Methodology

Asbestos Assessment Methodology April 19, 2017 Methodology Appendix Pinchin File: 201408


1.0 GENERAL

Pinchin conducts a room-by-room survey (rooms, corridors, service areas, exterior, etc.) to identify the

asbestos building materials defined by the scope of the work. All work is conducted in accordance with

our own internal Standard Operating Procedures.

Information regarding the location and condition of asbestos building materials encountered and visually

estimated quantities are recorded. The locations of any samples collected are recorded on small-scale

plans.

As-built drawings and previous reports are referenced where provided.

1.1 Scope Limitations

The assessment excludes the following:

• Articles belonging to the owner, tenant or occupant (e.g. stored items, furniture,

appliances, etc.);

• Underground materials or equipment (e.g. vessels, drums, underground storage tanks,

pipes, etc.);

• Building envelope, structural components, inaccessible or concealed materials or other

items where sampling may cause consequential damage to the property.

• Energized systems (e.g. internal boiler components, elevators, mechanical or electrical

components);

• Controlled products (e.g. stored chemicals, operational or process-related substances);

and

• Materials not typically associated with construction (e.g. settled dust, spills, residual

contamination from prior spills, etc.).

The assessment is limited to non-intrusive testing. Concealed spaces such as those above solid ceilings

and within shafts and pipe chases are accessed via existing access panels only Pinchin does not conduct

demolition of walls, solid ceilings, structural items, interior finishes or exterior building finishes, to

determine the presence of concealed materials.

1.2 Detailed Methodology

Pinchin conducts an inspection for the presence of friable and non-friable asbestos-containing materials

(ACM). A friable material is a material that when dry can be crumbled, pulverized or powdered by hand

pressure.



A separate set of samples is collected of each type of homogenous material suspected to contain

asbestos. A homogenous material is defined by the US EPA as material that is uniform in texture and

appearance, was installed at one time, and is unlikely to consist of more than one type or formulation of

material. The homogeneous materials are determined by visual examination and available information on

the phases of construction and prior renovations.

Pinchin collects samples at a rate that is in compliance with Table 1 of O.Reg. 278/05.

The sampling strategy is also based on known ban dates and phase out dates of the use of asbestos;

sampling of certain building materials is not conducted after specific construction dates. In addition, to be

conservative, several years past these dates are added to account for some uncertainty in the exact

start/finish date of construction and associated usage of ACM.

In some cases, manufactured products such as asbestos cement pipe are visually identified without

sample confirmation.

Drywall joint compound is sampled at exterior walls, columns or other locations that are unlikely to have

been renovated in an attempt to determine the presence of asbestos in the original drywall compound.

Delineation of asbestos-containing drywall compound from newer, non-asbestos drywall compound is not

conducted.

Flooring mastic or adhesive is sampled and analyzed if present on the underside of flooring samples

(vinyl floor tile and vinyl sheet flooring).

If present, the following materials are presumed to be asbestos-containing and are best sampled

immediately prior to commencing renovation/disturbance:

• roofing, felts and tar

• concrete floor levelling compound

• elevator and lift brakes

• electrical components or wiring within control centers, breakers, motors or lights,

insulation on wiring

• moulded plastic components (laboratory bench tops)

• refractory materials and insulations in boilers, incinerators and stacks

• insulation under metal clad boilers and vessels

• vermiculite in concrete block wall cavities

• adhesives and duct mastics

• caulking



• fibre reinforced paints and coatings

• paper products under wood flooring or metal or slate roofing

• soffit and fascia boards at elevated heights

• mechanical packing, ropes and gaskets

• fire resistant doors or metal clad finishes

• exterior cladding

Pinchin submits the bulk samples to a NVLAP accredited laboratory for analysis. The analysis is

performed in accordance with Test Method EPA/600/R-93/116: Method for the Determination of Asbestos

in Bulk Building Materials, July 1993.

In Ontario an ACM is defined as materials containing 0.5% or more asbestos by weight.

The asbestos analysis is completed using a stop positive approach. Only one result meeting the above

regulated criteria is required to determine that a material is asbestos-containing, but all samples must be

analyzed to conclusively determine that a material is non-asbestos. The laboratory stops analyzing

samples from a homogeneous material once a result equal to or greater than the regulated criteria is

detected in any of the samples of that material. All samples of a homogeneous material are analyzed if no

asbestos is detected. In some cases, all samples are analyzed in the sample set regardless of result.

Where building materials are described in the report as non-asbestos, this means that either no asbestos

was detected by the analytical method utilized in any of the multiple samples or, if detected, it is below the

lower limit of an asbestos-containing material in the applicable regulation.

Asbestos materials are evaluated in order to make recommendations regarding remedial work. The

priority for remedial action is based on several factors:

• Friability (friable or non-friable).

• Condition (good, fair, poor, debris).

• Accessibility (ranking from accessible to all building users to inaccessible).

• Visibility (whether the material is obscured by other building components).

• Efficiency of the work (for example, if damaged ACM is being removed in an area, it may

be most practical to remove all ACM in the area even if it is in good condition).
