"<p>The purpose of this inspection is to determine if asbestos fibres are present within materials that will be handled or<br>otherwise disturbed during Restoration activities. Restoration plans currently involve the removal of damaged<br>ceiling tiles and all ceiling finishes above the damaged tiles from the pub, banquet hall, restaurant, and bar\/club on<br>the main level, as well as the student housing units, common hallways, dining room, laundry, and the office on the<br>upper level. Floor finishes are to be removed from select areas on the main level.Select drywall is to be removed<br>from the banquet hall, restaurant, bar\/club, student housing, and rear landing. If new materials are discovered that<br>were not sampled or referenced in this report, or if the scope of work broadens to include other areas or materials,<br>all work must cease, and OMNI Hazmat must be contacted to sample and provide further consultation.<br>It is integral for our purposes and the safety of this site to emphasize that this report is entirely exclusive to the<br>property titled, and results are limited to the areas observed at the time of our inspection. Assumptions cannot be<br>made regarding the asbestos content of a material or area not sampled or investigated. If there is uncertainty<br>regarding an area or material that was not sampled, the area or material in question must be handled as a potential<br>source of asbestos until further testing confirms otherwise. Inaccessible areas such as wall cavities, below floors, or<br>areas that require the invasive dismantling of the building may not have been thoroughly investigated.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>METHODOLOGY<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Samples of materials suspected to contain asbestos were collected from the property for laboratory analysis. A total<br>of 66 bulk samples were collected during the survey and submitted for analysis utilizing Polarized Light and<br>Binocular Stereo Microscopy at an AIHA Proficient laboratory in accordance with NIOSH 9002 methods.<\/p>\r\n<p><br>17 samples of paint and tile glazing were selected for analysis to determine lead concentration. OMNI Hazmat<br>analyzed the samples using an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Olympus Vanta L Series, calibrated for lead detection in<br>paints and coatings.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>PROJECT MANAGEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Asbestos-containing materials were present within areas of the building sampled and tested during our inspection.<br>Only properly trained and certified personnel are authorized to handle the removal of hazardous materials. A qualified abatement company must maintain public safety and implement an exposure control plan, submit site-specific work procedures that mitigate <span xss=removed>risk and remove and dispose of hazardous materials in a manner consistent <\/span>with WorkSafe BC Occupational Health & Safety Regulations as well as Special Waste and Regional municipality regulations.<\/p>\r\n<p>A third-party consultant must provide daily air monitoring throughout high-risk abatement work with results<br>available on site within 24 hours of sample collection. An asbestos clearance inspection and air clearance test must<br>be performed following completion of abatement. Air clearance testing must yield satisfactory results before the<br>containment can be disassembled.<\/p>"
