ASBESTOS CLEARANCE INSPECTION PASS Project/Location: ANU Building 48, Forrestry Building, Linnaeus Way, Acton,

ACT, 2601 Job Number: H15601

Date of Inspection: Saturday, 31 October 2015

Description of Work: Removal of asbestos vinyl floor tiles to room 27.

Asbestos Removalist: International Asbestos Removals

Certification:

A visual inspection was carried out on Saturday, 31 October 2015, by Morgan Leech following the completion of the asbestos works listed above in accordance with Robson Environmental’s NATA, ISO9001, ISO14001 and AS4801 accreditations. It should be noted that this clearance certificate relates only to the exact area(s) specified above.

The inspection found no visible asbestos residue from the asbestos work in the area or in the vicinity of the area where the work was carried out.

Air monitoring during the works returned results below the minimum practical detection limit of <0.01 F/mL.

The work area has been given the “all clear” and restrictions associated with the asbestos works can now be lifted and the area safely reoccupied.

Note: Presumed asbestos vinyl floor tiles may still remain behind enclosed riser. Refer to appendix B.

Dear Jeremy,

Re: Asbestos analysis and Risk Assessment of green with fleck vinyl floor tile (VFT) on the floor of Room 27, Building 48 of the Australian National University (ANU) on 27/10/2015.

Site Work

Andrew Dibb and Morgan Leech, ACT Asbestos Assessor of Robson Environmental sampled suspected asbestos containing material (ACM) from the above location. The analytical result is presented in Table 2 and a photograph in Appendix A.

Risk Assessment

A Risk Assessment was undertaken to enable informed decisions to be made concerning the management of ACM as per current legislation. This Risk Assessment takes into account:

the type of ACM (non friable or friable) the condition and location of the ACM whether the ACM is likely to be disturbed due to its condition and location and the likelihood of exposure to asbestos fibre

Material Assessment Restrictions and Caveats Robson Environmental has taken care to ensure that this report includes the most accurate information available. This report does not constitute a full register of asbestos containing materials at the above premises as required by current legislation. The material assessments, recommendations and/or conclusions contained in this report must not be used to absolve a person of their responsibility to work in accordance with relevant Statutory Requirements, Codes of Practice, Guidelines, Safety Data Sheets, Work Instructions or reasonable work practices.

Table 1 details the ratings for the condition and associated risk of each positively identified asbestos material at the time of the assessment. The ratings for each item are presented in Table 2.

Table 1: ACM Condition & Risk Ratings

ACM CONDITION RATING

1 Severe Material in very poor condition

2 Poor Deteriorated material and considerable damage

3 Fair Minor damage or signs of weathering

4 Good Well sealed stable material

ACM RISK RATING

A Very High Exposure to airborne asbestos likely as a consequence of minor disturbance

B High Exposure to airborne asbestos possible as a consequence of minor disturbance

C Medium Exposure to airborne asbestos unlikely during normal building use

D Low Negligible exposure to airborne asbestos during normal building use

LABORATORY METHODOLOGY

The sampled material was double bagged and transported to Robson Environmental’s National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accredited laboratory with a Chain of Custody (COC) form written by the assessor which was signed off on receipt by the laboratory. The received material was analysed for asbestos fibre content which is determined by Polarised Light Microscopy with dispersion staining techniques. Refer to Appendix B for the Certificate of Analysis.

The sample taken from suspected ACM is representative of the material sampled, individually identified, transported, analysed and reported in accordance with current legislation and Robson Environmental In-house Procedures 2 & 3.

All inspections, sampling, identification and reporting was undertaken in accordance with Robson Environmental’s NATA, ISO9001, ISO14001 and AS4801 accreditations.

Non friable ACM

Non friable asbestos is any material that contains asbestos firmly bound into a matrix. It may consist of cement or various resins/binders and cannot be reduced to a dust by hand pressure. As such it does not present an exposure hazard unless cut, abraded, sanded or otherwise disturbed. Therefore, the exposure risk from non friable ACM is negligible during normal building occupation.


Note: If non friable ACM is damaged or otherwise deteriorated, the Risk Assessment must be reviewed to reflect a higher potential for exposure to asbestos fibres. When severely damaged, non friable ACM may be assessed as being friable. A licensed Asbestos Assessor must perform the Risk Assessment.

Friable ACM

Friable asbestos material can be crumbled or reduced to a dust by hand pressure when dry. It can represent a significant exposure hazard as a consequence of minor disturbance. Examples of friable asbestos are hot water pipe lagging, severely damaged asbestos cement sheet, limpet spray and electrical duct heater millboard.

Conclusions & Recommendations

The green with fleck VFT sampled from the floor of room 27 was found to contain chrysotile asbestos. It is recommended that any loose tiles or debris be removed. If the material is to be disturbed by works or removed in the course of refurbishments it should be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist. If it is to remain in situ it should be maintained, entered into the asbestos register for the building and controls put in place to brief persons who may disturb the material.


Asbestos Removal

Removal of ACM must be undertaken by a licensed Asbestos Removalist as per current legislation. The removal/remediation of friable ACM must be undertaken by a licensed Class A Asbestos Removalist. Removal or remediation of non friable asbestos may be undertaken by either an A or B Class Asbestos Removalist.

Prior to the commencement of any removal or remediation works associated with any amount or type of asbestos, a Building Certifier must be engaged and Building Approval sought from WorkSafe ACT a minimum of 5 working days prior to the commencement of the works. An asbestos removal contractor must supply an Asbestos Removal Control Plan (ARCP) and a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS). An independent licensed Asbestos Assessor should be engaged to ensure that the ARCP addresses all safety issues relating to the planned asbestos works.

Air monitoring is mandatory during the removal or remediation of friable asbestos and should be considered during the removal or remediation of non friable asbestos. Air sampling is to be undertaken in accordance with the Guidance Note on the Membrane Filter Method for Estimating Airborne Asbestos Fibres, 2nd Edition [NOHSC: 3003(2005)] and test certificates must be National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) endorsed.

An independent licensed Asbestos Assessor must also be employed to undertake a Clearance Inspection of both friable and non friable asbestos removal or remediation works. A satisfactory clearance certificate for the remediated areas must ensure that no visible asbestos or presumed asbestos remains, or that the ACM has been satisfactorily sealed or remediated. Additionally no asbestos fibres should be detected by laboratory analysis in any validation samples. All surfaces within the remediated area must be free of general dust and debris.

Yours sincerely,
