EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Jacques Whitford Limited (Jacques Whitford) was commissioned by the Toronto Catholic District
School Board (TCDSB) to conduct an Asbestos-Containing Building Materials Assessment of
Vernerable John Merlini Catholic School, located at 123 Whitfield Avenue in North York, Ontario.
The purpose of the assessment was to assist the TCDSB to meet the requirements of the new
asbestos regulation, Ontario Regulation 278/05 made under the Occupational Health and Safety Act
(OHSA), effective November 1, 2005. The assessment also includes the identification of asbestos-
containing materials (ACMs) that may require special attention.
The assessment was performed for the purposes of long term management of asbestos, and not for
construction or renovations purposes. Additional intrusive testing may be required prior to using this
information for construction or renovation.
The work was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the OHSA.
Based on visual assessment and laboratory analysis, asbestos-containing materials were identified to
be present at the subject facility. Table 1 below provides a summary of the materials identified and
recommendations on their management.
Table 1 – Summary of Findings and Recommendations
Issue Comments Recommendation
Asbestos Friable asbestos-containing materials were identified to be present in the form of 2’x4’ acoustical ceiling tiles, insulating cement on pipe fittings, pressed paper straight pipe insulation, boiler body insulation, breeching insulation and gasket materials. The pressed paper straight pipe insulation located in Room 108 and insulating cement on pipe fittings identified in Rooms 108 and 130A were observed to be in poor condition.
Non-friable asbestos-containing materials were identified to be present in the form of 12”x12” vinyl floor tiles, flex duct material, and drywall joint-fill compound. These materials were observed to be in good condition. Although drywall joint-fill compound is considered to be non-friable in its undisturbed state, it should be considered a friable material when damaged.
Presumed asbestos-containing materials (PACMs) were identified to be present in the form of fire door material, cement pipe, cement board, caulking materials, roofing materials, mastics and chalkboards. These materials were observed to be in good condition and were not sampled to preserve their integrity.
Damaged asbestos-containing insulating cement on the boiler body should be repaired or removed in accordance with O. Reg 278/05 (RCA-1).
Debris from damaged asbestos-containing insulating cement should be repaired or removed in accordance with O. Reg 278/05 (RCA-2).
Damaged asbestos-containing pressed paper straight pipe insulation should be repaired or removed in accordance with O. Reg 278/05 (RCA-3).
Prior to demolition or renovation work, undertake testing of presumed asbestos-containing materials to determine their asbestos content.
Asbestos-containing materials should be removed prior to the start of renovation work that may impact the material, in accordance with O. Reg. 278/05.
Should a material suspected to contain asbestos fibres become uncovered during demolition or renovation activities, all work in the areas that may disturb the material should be stopped. Samples of the suspect material should be submitted for laboratory analysis to determine if asbestos fibres are present. Confirmed asbestos materials should be handled in accordance with O. Reg. 278/05.
The statements made in this Executive Summary text are subject to the same limitations included in the
Closure Section 8.0, and are to be read in conjunction with the remainder of this report.

ASBESTOS-CONTAINING BUILDING MATERIALS ASSESSMENT
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Jacques Whitford Limited (Jacques Whitford) was commissioned by the Toronto Catholic District
School Board (TCDSB) to conduct an Asbestos-Containing Building Materials Assessment of
Vernerable John Merlini Catholic School, located at 123 Whitfield Avenue in North York, Ontario.
The purpose of the assessment was to assist the TCDSB to meet the requirements of the new
asbestos regulation, Ontario Regulation 278/05 made under the Occupational Health and Safety Act
(OHSA), effective November 1, 2005. The assessment also includes the identification of asbestos-
containing materials (ACMs) that may require special attention.
The assessment was performed for the purposes of long term management of asbestos, and not for
construction or renovations purposes. Additional intrusive testing may be required prior to using this
information for construction or renovation.
The work was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the OHSA.
1.1 Assessment Objectives
The objective of the assessment was to:
prepare an assessment report that identifies asbestos-containing materials present at the subject facility; and,
provide recommendations for the management of these materials.
1.2 Scope of Work
The scope of work for this assessment involved the following:
a “room-by-room” visual assessment of readily accessible room spaces of the subject facility for the presence of asbestos-containing building materials;
an inventory of building materials/components that are suspected to contain asbestos;
the collection of representative bulk samples from building materials suspected of containing asbestos fibres;
laboratory analysis for the determination of the type and concentration of asbestos present in the samples submitted; and,
preparation of a report documenting the results of the assessment, providing an interpretation of the laboratory analysis results and recommendations for the management of any asbestos containing materials.

2.0 DOCUMENT REVIEW
The SAP inventory provided by Toronto Catholic District School Board and documents on site, where
available, were reviewed by Jacques Whitford.
3.0 ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
A room-by-room visual assessment of the subject facility was made in order to check for the presence
of materials suspected of containing asbestos.
During the assessment, locations to collect discrete bulk asbestos samples of suspect building
materials were identified. Samples of representative materials were then collected at these locations in
accordance with the requirements of Ontario Regulation 278/05 made under the Occupational Health
and Safety Act.
An assessment of the condition, accessibility and exposure risk was completed for each occurrence of
an asbestos-containing material. The Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC)
document entitled “Deputy Ministers Directive 057 – Asbestos Management” (Last Revised June 16th,
1999) was used as the basis for the criteria that was applied in evaluating the presence of asbestos-
containing materials at the subject areas, where applicable.
Samples of suspect ACMs from various building materials were collected and submitted to EMSL
Laboratories Inc. (EMSL) located in Westmont, New Jersey, for analysis using Polarized Light
Microscopy (PLM) with dispersion staining. The analysis was conducted following the U.S. EPA/600/R-
93/116 Methods. EMSL is certified under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program
(NVLAP) to perform asbestos analysis of bulk samples.
The number of bulk samples was based on the requirements of the new asbestos regulation that
specifies the minimum number of samples of a particular building material that should be collected and
tested to consider a material non-asbestos-containing. A positive stop option was used during the
laboratory analysis of the building materials suspected to contain asbestos. Multiple samples of
visually similar material were collected and submitted for laboratory analysis.
The positive stop option involves testing a series of samples from a particular building material until test
results indicate the presence of asbestos. When this occurs, the remaining samples are not tested.
This is a cost effective method of limiting the number of samples that are ultimately tested.
Additionally, materials that had been previously sampled and identified to contain asbestos were
referenced from available reports and not re-tested.
A summary list of the bulk samples collected by Jacques Whitford, including a description of the
material, sampling location, type of analysis and laboratory test results is provided in Appendix 2. A
summary list of the bulk samples that had been sampled previously in TCDSB surveys and identified to
contain asbestos is provided in Appendix 7.

4.0 ASSESSMENT LIMITATIONS
This report reflects the observations made within the subject facility only, and the results of analyses
performed on specific materials sampled during the assessment. Analytical results reflect the sampled
materials at the specific sampling locations.
Due to access restrictions imposed by working in occupied and operational spaces, the asbestos
content of some building materials could not be determined at some locations. Where applicable,
building materials that were not sampled but that may contain asbestos include, but are not limited to
the following:
sub-grade materials;
curtains;
flooring material concealed beneath carpeting, ceramic tile, brickwork, hardwood flooring and/or concealed beneath existing sub-floors;
drywall and/or wall plaster materials concealed behind new and/or additional walls;
woven tape inside duct connection joints;
inner ducting insulation;
refractory brick;
insulation material present inside walls (i.e. suspected asbestos-containing vermiculite insulation inside concrete block and/or brick walls);
pipe straight-run and pipe elbow insulation within wall cavities, inaccessible ceiling spaces or crawlspaces;
insulation materials inside fire doors;
the mechanical inner linings of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units; and,
heat protection materials inside mechanical installations and light fixtures.
If encountered during renovation or other activities, any suspected ACMs not identified within this report
should be presumed to contain asbestos and handled as such until otherwise shown to be non
asbestos-containing through analytical testing.
5.0 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Asbestos is included in the Designated Substances Regulations made under Ontario's OHSA. The
Designated Substance Regulation respecting Asbestos (R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 837, amended to O. Reg.
279/05) primarily regulates worker exposure to asbestos during manufacturing of asbestos containing
products, but also includes requirements related to respiratory equipment, measurement of airborne
fibres, and medical surveillance of exposed workers.
The Ontario Regulation 278/05 made under the OHSA for Asbestos on Construction Projects and in
Buildings and Repair Operations, clearly defines asbestos-containing material as a material that
contains 0.5 per cent or more asbestos by dry weight. The new asbestos regulation (O. Reg. 278/05)
became effective as of November 1, 2005.
© 2008 PROJECT 1025760 April 25, 2008 4
The General Waste Management Regulation (O. Reg. 347/90), under the Environmental Protection Act
(EPA) of Ontario, sets out the requirements for the proper disposal of asbestos waste in Ontario. The
waste must be placed in a double sealed container, properly labeled, free of cuts, tears or punctures
and disposed of at a licensed waste station which has been properly notified of the presence of
asbestos waste.
6.0 ASSESSMENT RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The result of the assessment for asbestos-containing building materials is discussed below. The
evaluation criterion for assessing asbestos-containing materials is provided in Appendix 5. A list of
definitions for technical terms used in this report is provided in Appendix 6.
Asbestos-containing materials are grouped into two classifications, friable and non-friable materials.
Friable ACMs are those that can easily be crumbled or broken apart by mere hand pressure. When
these materials break apart asbestos fibres are then released into the atmosphere. Non-friable ACMs
or “manufactured products” are materials that by the nature of their manufacturing/construction do not
readily allow the release of asbestos fibres. These materials should not be cut or shaped with power
tools, since this procedure may allow for the release of the asbestos fibres.
O. Reg. 278/05 requires that an Asbestos Management Program (AMP) be implemented in buildings
that have been identified to contain friable and non-friable ACMs.
A summary list of the bulk samples that were collected during the assessment including a description of
the material, sampling location, type of analysis and laboratory test results is provided in Appendix 2.
A summary list of the bulk samples that had been identified to contain asbestos in the SAP inventory
provided by TCDSB is provided in Appendix 7.
A copy of the PLM laboratory Certificate of Analysis is provided in Appendix 4.
A summary of occurrences of asbestos-containing materials for areas that were inspected is provided
in Appendix 3. Each ACM occurrence includes the following information:
room component that contains ACM;
location of the ACM within the room space;
ACM description;
estimated quantity;
original sample number or representative sample number;
friability; and,
condition.

6.1 Friable Asbestos-Containing Materials
During the assessment, friable ACMs were identified but were not sampled as they had been previously
identified in the SAP inventory provided by the TCDSB. Friable ACMs were observed at the subject
facility in the form of:
Insulating cement on pipe fittings;
Boiler body insulation;
Pressed paper straight pipe insulation;
Breeching insulation; and,
Gasket material.
Refer to Appendix 7 for the type and asbestos content; and Appendix 3 for specific location and
condition of these ACMs.
During the assessment, friable ACMs were identified by laboratory analysis to be present at the subject
facility in the form of:
2’x4’ acoustical ceiling tiles.
Refer to Appendix 2 for the type and asbestos content; and Appendix 3 for specific location and
condition of these ACMs.
6.2 Non-Friable Asbestos-Containing Materials
During the assessment, non-friable ACMs were identified by laboratory analysis to be present at the
subject facility in the form of:
12”x12” vinyl floor tiles;
Drywall joint-fill compound; and,
Flex duct material.
Refer to Appendix 2 and Appendix 7 for the type and asbestos content; and Appendix 3 for specific
location and condition of these ACMs.
6.3 Presumed Asbestos-Containing Materials
Presumed asbestos-containing materials were observed to be present at the subject facility. The
following materials were identified but not sampled:
Window and door caulking materials;
Roof caulking materials;
Roofing materials;
Mastics;
Chalkboards;
Cement pipe;
© 2008 PROJECT 1025760 April 25, 2008 6
Cement board; and,
Fire doors.
These materials were not sampled during the assessment to avoid damage. The materials were
observed to be in good condition. As these materials are known to have been manufactured with
asbestos, they should be presumed to be asbestos-containing unless proven otherwise by laboratory
analysis.
6.4 Non-Asbestos-Containing Materials
Refer to Appendix 2 for a list of materials identified as non-asbestos containing through sampling and laboratory analysis.
7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on visual assessment and laboratory analysis, Jacques Whitford recommends the following with
regards to the ACMs and PACMs in the facility assessed:
Damaged asbestos-containing insulating cement on the boiler body should be repaired or removed in accordance with O. Reg. 278/05 (RCA-1);
Debris from damaged asbestos-containing insulating cement should be repaired or removed in accordance with O. Reg. 278/05 (RCA-2);
Damaged asbestos-containing pressed paper straight pipe insulation should be repaired or removed in accordance with O. Reg. 278/05 (RCA-3);
Prior to demolition or renovation work, undertake testing of presumed asbestos-containing materials to determine their asbestos content;
Asbestos-containing materials should be removed prior to the start of renovation work that may impact the material, in accordance with O. Reg. 278/05; and,
Should a material suspected to contain asbestos fibres become uncovered during demolition or renovation activities, all work in the areas that may disturb the material should be stopped. Samples of the suspect material should be submitted for laboratory analysis to determine if asbestos fibres are present. Confirmed asbestos materials should be handled in accordance with O. Reg. 278/05.

APPENDIX 5
Evaluation Criteria for Assessing Asbestos Containing Materials
© 2008 PROJECT 1025760 April 25, 2008 Appendix 5-1
Criteria for Assessing Asbestos Containing Materials
A description of the criteria used in evaluating the condition, accessibility and exposure risk of
asbestos-containing materials is provided below. The criteria is generally based on the Public Works
and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) document entitled “Deputy Ministers Directive 057 –
Asbestos Management” (Last Revised 1999/07/16) and industry standards of practice.
Assessment of Condition
Spray Applied Fireproofing, Insulation and Textured Finishes
In evaluating the condition of ACM spray applied as fireproofing, thermal insulation or texture,
decorative or acoustic finishes, the following criteria apply:
Good
Surface of material shows no significant signs of damage, deterioration or delamination. Up to one
percent visible damage to surface is allowed within range of GOOD. Evaluation of sprayed fireproofing
requires the Assessor to be familiar with the irregular surface texture typical of sprayed asbestos
products. GOOD condition includes unencapsulated or unpainted fireproofing or texture finishes,
where no delamination or damage is observed, and encapsulated fireproofing or texture finishes where
the encapsulation has been applied after the damage or fallout occurred.
Poor
Sprayed materials show signs of damage, delamination or deterioration. More than one percent
damage to surface of ACM spray.
In observation areas, where damage exists in isolated locations, both GOOD and POOR condition may
be reported. The extent or percentage of each condition will be recorded on the Assessor
reassessment form.
FAIR condition is not utilized or considered as a valid criterion in the evaluation of sprayed fireproofing,
sprayed insulation, or texture coat finishes.
The evaluation of ACM spray applied as fireproofing, non-mechanical thermal insulation, or texture,
decorative or acoustic finishes which are present above ceilings, may be limited by the number of
observations made, and by building components such as ducts or full height walls that obstruct the
above ceiling observations. Persons entering the ceiling area are advised to be watchful for ACM
DEBRIS prior to accessing or working above ceilings in areas of building with ACM, regardless of the
reported condition.
Other ACM
In evaluating the condition of mechanical insulation (on boilers, breaching, ductwork, piping, tanks,
equipment etc.) the following criteria are used:
© 2008 PROJECT 1025760 April 25, 2008 Appendix 5-2
Good
Insulation is completely covered in jacketing and exhibits no evidence of damage or deterioration. No
insulation is exposed. Includes conditions where the jacketing has minor surface damage (i.e., scuffs
or stains), but the jacketing is not penetrated.
Fair
Minor penetration damage to jacketed insulation (cuts, tears, nicks, deterioration or delamination) or
undamaged insulation that has never been jacketed. Insulation is exposed but not showing surface
disintegration. The extent of missing insulation ranges should be minor to none.
Poor
Original insulation jacket is missing, damaged, deteriorated or delaminated. Insulation is exposed and
significant areas have been dislodged. Damage cannot be readily repaired. The evaluation of
mechanical insulation may be limited by the number of observations made and building components
such as ducts or full height walls that obstruct observations. In these circumstances, it is not possible
to observe each foot of mechanical insulation from all angles.
Non-Friable and Potentially Friable Materials
Non-friable materials generally have little potential to release airborne fibres, even when damaged by
mechanical breakage. However, some non-friable materials, i.e., exterior asbestos cement products,
may have deteriorated so that the binder no longer effectively contains the asbestos fibres. In such
cases of significantly deteriorated non-friable material, the material will be treated as a friable product.
Evaluation of Accessibility
The accessibility of building materials known or suspected of being ACM is rated according to the
following criteria:
Access (A)
Areas of the building within reach of all building users. Includes areas such as gymnasiums,
workshops, and storage areas where activities of the building users may result in disturbance of ACM
not normally within reach from floor level.
Access (B)
Frequently entered maintenance areas within reach of maintenance staff, without the need for a ladder.
Includes: frequently entered pipe chases, tunnels and service areas or areas within reach from a fixed
ladder or catwalk, i.e., tops of equipment, mezzanines.
Access (C) Exposed
Areas of the building above 8'0" where use of a ladder is required to reach the ACM. Only refers to
ACM materials that are exposed to view, from the floor or ladder, without removing or opening other
building components such as ceiling tiles, or service access doors or hatches. Does not include
infrequently accessed service areas of the building.
© 2008 PROJECT 1025760 April 25, 2008 Appendix 5-3
Access (C) Concealed
Areas of the building which require the removal of a building component, including lay-in ceilings and
access panels into solid ceiling systems. Includes rarely entered crawl spaces, attic spaces, etc.
Observations are limited to the extent visible from the access points.
Access (D)
Areas of the building behind inaccessible solid ceiling systems, walls, or mechanical equipment, etc.
where demolition of the ceiling, wall or equipment, etc., is required to reach the ACM. Evaluation of the
condition and extent of ACM is limited or impossible, depending on the Assessor's ability to visually
examine the materials In Access D.
