1.0 Introduction AECOM Australia Pty Ltd (AECOM) was commissioned by David Cannon on behalf of Watkinson Apperley to develop a hazardous materials management plan of the property lots located at the Corner of Corrimal & Beach Streets (the “Site”), Wollongong NSW.

The management plan is in addition to the hazardous materials survey carried out at the Site on 2 and 3 November 2009. The management plan has subsequently been developed to formalise the process of hazardous management at the Site. The overall objectives of the management plan are to protect employees, visitors and maintenance personnel to the Site from exposure to hazardous materials identified on Site as well as to assist with any future demolition or refurbishment works to be undertaken at the Site.

The purpose of the hazardous materials survey undertaken of the Site on 2 and 3 November 2009, which is required to be undertaken prior to any demolition or refurbishment works, is to assist the owner/employer in meeting their obligations under the NSW Occupational Health & Safety Act 2000 and NSW Occupational Health & Safety Regulation 2001. The objective of the survey was to identify the location and condition of visually accessible asbestos-containing and other hazardous construction materials present throughout the area(s) of investigation.

For the purpose of this report, hazardous construction materials are asbestos-containing materials (ACM), synthetic mineral fibre (SMF), lead based paint and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) within fluorescent light capacitors.

The full findings of this survey, including all sample locations, and hazardous materials identified with an asbestos risk assessment and rating, are presented in Appendix A, Hazardous Materials Survey.


AECOM


2.0 Hazardous Materials Survey A hazardous materials survey of the property lots located at the Corner of Corrimal & Beach Streets, Wollongong NSW was undertaken by AECOM on 2 and 3 November 2009.

Accessible areas of the subject buildings at the Site were inspected. Recommendations regarding the different types of hazardous materials identified are included in the survey report in Appendix A of this management plan.

The majority of the accessible hazardous materials identified during the survey were found to be of a condition such that they are unlikely to pose a risk while they remain in-situ, undisturbed and in their present location and condition.

All hazardous materials which are likely to be disturbed by any demolition, refurbishment or building works should be removed prior to the works commencing.

2.1 Hazardous Materials Register

A hazardous materials register summarising the location, type and condition, together with a risk assessment of the asbestos material, has been compiled following completion of the survey inspection. A copy of the hazardous materials register is contained in the Hazardous Materials Survey Report in Appendix A of this management plan.

3.0 Actions for Asbestos Management

3.1 Annual Review

In order to meet obligations under the NSW Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000 and the NSW Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 in regard to asbestos materials, it is necessary to undertake a regular review of the asbestos materials. This review will be undertaken by way of a visual inspection to assess if the condition of the asbestos materials has deteriorated and if any remedial work is required. Details of any asbestos removal/remediation undertaken are to be included in the annual review report. The reports detailing the results of the reviews are to be filled in Appendix B of this management plan.

3.2 Airborne Asbestos Fibre Monitoring

Airborne asbestos fibres monitoring should be carried out during any asbestos removal or rectification works, when persons access areas containing asbestos materials or to confirm background concentrations of airborne asbestos fibres are within safe levels. Whenever this monitoring is carried out the results are to be filed in Appendix C of this management plan.

3.3 Asbestos Removal

Details of asbestos removal including location, date and asbestos removal contractor is to be recorded in the management plan. A copy of the scope of work, tender specification or other requests to the contractor detailing the extent of the work and the dates the work was carried out is to be filed in Appendix D of this management plan.

Clearance certification provided at the completion of the work is to be filed in Appendix D.

3.4 Labelling of Asbestos Based Materials

Where practical, asbestos containing materials located in the selected buildings are to be labelled in accordance with the requirements of the NSW Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 and Section 9.5 of the Code of Practice for the Management and Control of Asbestos in Workplaces [NOHSC: 2018(2005)].


AECOM


4.0 Procedures for Working with Asbestos All removal of asbestos containing materials is only to be undertaken by licensed asbestos removal contractors.

All asbestos removal work is to be undertaken by an asbestos contractor licensed for the particular work involved, and be carried out all in accordance with the Code of Practice for the Safe Removal of Asbestos 2nd Edition [NOHSC:2002(2005)].

For friable asbestos removal work, an AS-1 licensed Asbestos Removal Contract must be utilised.

Bonded asbestos removal work may be undertaken by either an AS-1 or AS-2 licensed contractor.

If construction, demolition, alterations or maintenance works, and the like, are likely to disturb the asbestos materials then the asbestos materials should be removed prior to works commencing.

The requirements for more significant or larger asbestos removal works should be specified in a Scope of Works Report (i.e. Work Plan). The Scope of Works report should be developed by a qualified and experienced asbestos consultant.

Removal of ACM is to be undertaken in accordance with the requirements outlined in the NSW Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 and the NOHSC asbestos codes of practice:

Code of Practice for Safe Removal of Asbestos 2nd Edition [NOHSC:2002(2005)];

Code of Practice for the Management and Control of Asbestos Workplaces [NOHSC:2018(2005)]; and

Guidance Note on the Membrane Filter Method for Estimating Airborne Asbestos Fibres 2nd Edition [NOSCB:3003 (2005)].

Air monitoring should be carried out during the removal of ACM and all samples should be analysed by a NATA Accredited laboratory.

At the completion of removal a clearance inspection should be conducted by a competent person to assess the adequacy of the removal works undertaken.

In order to avoid any potential conflict of interest, it is recommended that air monitoring and clearance inspections should be performed by person/s independent of the asbestos removal contractor.

All asbestos waste must by disposed at an approved waste collection facility. All tipping dockets must be retained.

4.1 Asbestos Work Procedures

To ensure that asbestos risks are maintained at an acceptable level, suitable asbestos work procedures should be developed and implemented by a licenced asbestos removal contractor and/or a suitably qualified and experienced asbestos consultant. These work procedures should comply with the requirements of the Act, Regulations, NOHSC Asbestos Codes of Practice and the contractor’s conditions of licence, and be reviewed for adequacy prior to implementation.

Examples of work procedures for some common asbestos abatement activities are provided below. While these procedures are based upon information contained in [NOHSC:2002(2005)], it is strongly advised that the Act, Regulations and [NOHSC:2002(2005)] be fully consulted prior to undertaking any asbestos work.

All asbestos work should be undertaken by a licenced asbestos removal contractor.

4.2 Removal of Asbestos Cement Products

4.2.1 Preparation

Asbestos-cement products are typically considered to be non-friable, and are therefore associated with a relatively low health risk. Asbestos-cement products that have been impacted by hail, storm and fire can however pose an elevated risk, and should be assessed by a competent person to determine if they are friable.

The minimum suitable respiratory protection is a P1 or P2 half-face respirator with a particulate filter. The use of other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as disposable coveralls that resist penetration by airborne asbestos fibres, is also advised.


AECOM


The type of decontamination facility should be determined by a risk assessment. The decontamination facilities should be located inside the asbestos work area and be available throughout the entire removal process.

The need for an asbestos removal enclosure should be determined by risk assessment (refer to Part 10 of NOHSC:2002(2005)] for information on the use of enclosures). As a minimum, it is recommended that surfaces below and around the asbestos-cement product being removed be lined with 200 µm thick polythene sheeting. The polythene sheeting should be fixed in place.

A suitably qualified and experienced asbestos consultant should be engaged to determine the requirements for air-monitoring, technical supervision of the removal contractor, and final clearance.

4.2.2 Removal of sheeting

The work area should be kept clean, tidy and free from asbestos-cement debris. All the asbestos-cement debris should be collected and disposed of as asbestos waste.

Wherever practical, and in particular where asbestos cement materials are not sealed, the removal of asbestos cement should be undertaken with wet methods unless this creates an electrical hazard. This typically involves application of a fine water spray to maximise dust suppression whilst minimising runoff.

If the asbestos cement is covered by ceramic tiles, the tiles should be removed to give sufficient access to the fixings of the asbestos cement sheet, taking care to minimise any damage to the sheet.

Fixings holding the asbestos cement sheet in place should be cut with a cold chisel under the edge of the sheet or cut around the head using a punch, again so as to minimise damage to the sheet. If necessary, nails should be punched through the sheeting to facilitate effective removal.

Alternatively, asbestos cement sheets may be carefully levered off the wall using a pinch bar or similar under an exposed edge. Whilst this enables easy removal of fixings, and excludes the risk of asbestos debris entering the building structure as is the case with a nail punch, care is required to minimise damage to the sheeting and remove any debris that may arise.

Sheets should be removed intact and with minimum disturbance. Care should be taken to wet any dry areas of asbestos-cement sheeting that could not be accessed while the material was in-situ.

All nails and asbestos waste should be removed from the timber.

Asbestos-cement sheeting should not be damaged unnecessarily. The dropping of asbestos-cement and the use of ramps, chutes or similar gravity-dependent devices is not allowed under any circumstances.

The asbestos-cement sheets should be placed into a waste skip, vehicle tray or similar receptacle lined with 200 µm thick polythene sheeting and sealed with a heavy duty tape. Smaller pieces of sheeting and debris should be placed in 200 µm thick polythene bags and sealed with heavy duty tape.

All asbestos waste is to be double wrapped/bagged and sealed.

Asbestos waste should be removed from the site on a regular basis (preferably daily) so that it does not accumulate.

4.2.3 Removal of roofing

The risks associated with work at heights must be addressed by conducting a risk assessment and developing a suitable safe work method statement (SWMS). All work must be performed in accordance with current legislative requirements for working on roofs and at heights. This may involve the use of safety harnesses and/or fall arrest equipment when accessing elevated areas.

Any weathered or damaged surfaces of the asbestos-cement roofing should be sprayed with Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) solution prior to removal to mitigate the effects of the weathering/damage. The PVA must be dry before removal commences in order to reduce the risk of slipping during the removal.

If lichen is present on roof sheeting, caution should be exercised in the use of water during the removal process, and the choice of workers’ footwear, as the risk of slipping and falling may be increased.

Anchoring screws/bolts should be removed from the roofing sheets using an oxy torch, bolt cutters or another suitable device that will not significantly damage the sheet. Angle grinders should not be used as they may cause unnecessary damage to the roofing.

Roof sheeting should be lowered to the ground using slings and/or lifting equipment such as a crane or a forklift.


AECOM


Asbestos-cement roofing should not be damaged unnecessarily. The dropping of asbestos-cement and the use of ramps, chutes or similar gravity-dependent devices is not allowed under any circumstances.

The asbestos-cement sheets should be placed into a waste skip, vehicle tray or similar receptacle lined with 200 µm thick polythene sheeting and sealed with a heavy duty tape. Smaller pieces of sheeting and debris should be placed in 200 µm thick polythene bags and sealed with heavy duty tape.

Asbestos waste should be removed from the site on a regular basis (preferably daily) so that it does not accumulate. The exterior of the asbestos waste receptacles/bags should be decontaminated as the waste is removed from the asbestos work area.

4.2.4 Decontamination of the work area

On completion of the asbestos removal works, all visible dust and debris should be removed from the work area. This may be achieved by wet-wiping and vacuuming with an approved vacuum cleaner. Particular attention should be paid to framework, ceiling spaces and exposed wall cavities to ensure that all asbestos material has been removed.

Porous materials, such as rough-sawn timber, cannot be effectively decontaminated by wet-wiping or using an approved asbestos vacuum cleaner. If such materials are to remain in-situ or be recycled, they must be sealed with pigmented PVA, using low-pressure airless spray equipment. Otherwise the materials should be disposed of as asbestos waste.

If asbestos-contaminated nails are to be reused they must be decontaminated. Nails that can not be decontaminated must be removed from the timber and disposed of as asbestos waste.

All disposable materials used to construct the asbestos removal enclosure, or otherwise contain asbestos during the removal works (e.g. 200 µm thick polythene sheeting), should be disposed of as asbestos waste.

4.2.5 Personal decontamination

A risk assessment should be conducted to determine appropriate decontamination requirements.

All decontamination should be carried out in a designated decontamination area.

Disposable PPE should be removed and sealed in 200 µm thick polythene bags for disposal as asbestos waste. The waste must be double bagged.

Re-usable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be vacuumed with an approved vacuum cleaner and wet wiped clean, in conjunction with any other decontamination methods being used on the site.

Contaminated PPE should not be worn outside the asbestos work area under any circumstances.

All equipment used during the asbestos removal process should be decontaminated or disposed of as asbestos waste. If the equipment cannot be fully decontaminated, and is to be used during future asbestos removal works, then it should undergo gross decontamination and be sealed in an appropriate storage container. The storage container is to be clearly marked as containing asbestos contaminated equipment.

4.2.6 Final Clearance

At the completion of decontamination the asbestos work area should be visually inspected by a suitably qualified and experienced asbestos consultant, acting independently of the asbestos removal contractor.

The asbestos consultant should determine whether clearance air monitoring and/or material sampling and analysis is required as part of the clearance process.

Re-occupation of the asbestos work area should not occur until final clearance has been provided by the asbestos consultant.


AECOM


5.0 Removal of Asbestos Containing Vinyl Tiles

5.1 Preparation

In general, the minimum respiratory protection for removal of vinyl tiles is a P1 or P2 filter with a half-face piece respirator. If grinding or abrading is involved, the minimum recommended respiratory protection is a P3 full-face, particulate filter (cartridge) respirator.

The use of other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as disposable coveralls that resist penetration by airborne asbestos fibres, is also advised.

The type of decontamination facility should be determined by a risk assessment. The decontamination facilities should be located inside the asbestos work area and be available throughout the entire removal process. A four-stage wet decontamination unit should be available when grinding or abrading is undertaken.

The need for an asbestos removal enclosure should be determined by risk assessment (refer to Part 10 of NOHSC:2002(2005)] for information on the use of enclosures). A suitable enclosure should be constructed if grinding or abrading is undertaken.


All fittings and fixtures on top of the vinyl flooring materials should be removed before the vinyl is taken up.

5.2 Removal of Vinyl Tiles

Care should be taken to minimise disturbance to the vinyl tiles and dust release from the removal activity.

Wherever possible, removal methods are to be restricted to scraping, chipping and/or the use of a wide bladed tool to remove the vinyl tiles. Work methods that involve grinding and/or abrading should only be used if there is no other suitable alternative.

Where grinding or abrading is used the wet spray method should be used and the equipment should be fitted with, or connected to, an approved asbestos vacuum cleaner.

The vinyl can be cut into strips prior to its removal, to facilitate bagging, or it can be rolled into one roll and wrapped securely with 200 µm thick polythene sheeting, making sure it is totally sealed.

All asbestos waste is to be double wrapped/bagged and sealed.

If a heat source is used to soften the adhesive beneath a vinyl tile, care should be taken not to scorch or burn the tile. Burning or scorching vinyl tiles can result in the release of toxic decomposition products and generate a fire hazard.

All tiles and asbestos related contaminated debris should be placed into a suitable receptacle lined with 200 µm thick polythene sheeting and sealed with a heavy duty tape.

Asbestos waste should be removed from the site on a regular basis (preferably daily) so that it does not accumulate. The exterior of the asbestos waste receptacles/bags should be decontaminated as the waste is removed from the asbestos work area.

5.3 Decontamination of the work area

On completion of the asbestos removal works, all visible dust and debris should be removed from the work area. This may be achieved by wet-wiping and vacuuming with an approved vacuum cleaner.

Porous materials, such as rough-sawn timber, cannot be effectively decontaminated by wet-wiping or using an approved asbestos vacuum cleaner. If such materials are to remain in-situ or be recycled, they must be sealed with pigmented PVA, using low-pressure airless spray equipment. Otherwise the materials should be disposed of as asbestos waste.

5.4 Personal decontamination




Re-usable PPE should be vacuumed with an approved vacuum cleaner and wet wiped clean, in conjunction with any other decontamination methods being used on the site.


All equipment used during the asbestos removal process should be decontaminated or disposed of as asbestos waste. If the equipment cannot be fully decontaminated, and is to be used during future asbestos removal works, then it should undergo gross decontamination and be sealed in an appropriate storage container. The storage container is to be clearly marked as containing asbestos contaminated equipment.

5.5 Final Clearance

6.0 Removal of asbestos switchboards or meter boards

6.1 Preparation

Electricity must be disconnected from the switchboard, meter panel and all other relevant electrical services by a licensed electrician prior to any other work commencing. Once this is tested and confirmed the removal process can begin.

All wiring at the back of the switchboard or meter board should be disconnected and isolated by a competent person. If this is not practical, the wiring should be suitably terminated and labelled to indicate that it is live, and the wiring should be protected against mechanical damage or otherwise rendered safe.

The presence of any other ACM, such as fire proofing on the switchboard cupboard sides, base, doors and the like should be determined by a competent person. This may require sampling and analysis of suspected asbestos material(s).

When removing an asbestos switchboard or meter board any other ACM, such as fire proofing on the switchboard cupboard, should also be removed.

The minimum suitable respiratory protection is a P1 or P2 half-face respirator with a particulate filter. The use of other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as disposable coveralls that resist penetration by airborne asbestos fibres, is also advised.

The type of decontamination facility should be determined by a risk assessment. The decontamination facilities should be located inside the asbestos work area and be available throughout the entire removal process.

The need for an asbestos removal enclosure should be determined by risk assessment (refer to Part 10 of NOHSC:2002(2005)] for information on the use of enclosures). As a minimum, it is recommended that surfaces below and around the asbestos-cement product being removed be lined with 200 µm thick polythene sheeting. The polythene sheeting should be fixed in place.


The requirement to install alternative insulation materials to replace the ACM should be determined prior to work commencing.

Note that alternative requirements to those specified in this procedure apply if friable asbestos materials (e.g. millboard) will be disturbed in the removal process. Such requirements may typically include higher grade PPE, decontamination facilities and enclosure.

6.2 Removal

Cover surfaces below and around the asbestos removal area with 200 μm thick polythene sheeting to catch any debris that may be generated. The polythene sheeting should be fixed in place with heavy duty tape or similar.

Remove the mounting screws from the board without damaging the board. Vacuum the front surface of the board using an asbestos vacuum cleaner. Disconnect the cabling from the board. Wrap the board in 200μm thick polythene sheeting or place in a 200 µm thick asbestos waste bag.

Vacuum the area where the board was located, and the surrounding area. Minor dust and debris that may be attached to the wall or cabling may be removed with a damp rag.

Vacuum the surface of the polythene sheeting used to catch any debris. Dispose of all polythene sheeting and rags used for wet wiping as asbestos waste.

6.3 Decontamination of the work area

On completion of the asbestos removal works, all visible dust and debris should be removed from the work area. This may be achieved by wet-wiping and vacuuming with an approved vacuum cleaner.

1.0 Introduction

AECOM Australia Pty Ltd (AECOM) was commissioned by David Cannon on behalf of Watkinson Apperley to conduct a hazardous materials survey of Property lots located at the corner of Corrimal & Beach Streets, Wollongong NSW (the “Site”) completed on 2 November 2009, and 3 November 2009.

The objective of the survey was to, as far as practicable, locate, identify and assess visually accessible asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and other hazardous construction materials present in the areas nominated for inspection and to present the information collected in a way that allows the duty holder to manage the risks arising from those materials in order to meet owner/employer obligations under the NSW Occupational Health & Safety Regulation 2001.

For the purpose of this report, hazardous construction materials are asbestos-containing materials (ACM), synthetic mineral fibres (SMF), lead based paint and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) within fluorescent light capacitors.

This report presents the findings of a survey completed on 2 November 2009, and 3 November 2009 and includes a Survey Results Register (Appendix A), and an asbestos risk assessment as described in Appendix B.

For the purpose of this report, Corrimal Street is taken to be oriented north-south adjacent the Site, and Beach Street is taken to be orientated east-west adjacent to the Site. (Appendix C)

3.0 Nature and Extent of Survey

3.1 General

The purpose of the survey was to locate, identify and document visually accessible hazardous materials including

asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead based paint, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and synthetic mineral

fibre (SMF) materials.

The scope of work covered by the hazardous materials survey included the following:

a) A visual inspection was undertaken of the internal and external construction materials and

components within the area(s) of investigation, to identify and locate visible above ground,

accessible hazardous materials.

The survey was undertaken by visual / “non-destructive” means only unless stated otherwise. Any

areas which were not subject to, or inaccessible during, the survey are documented in Section 3.6

and in the Survey Results Register in Appendix A.

b) Materials suspected of containing asbestos were sampled. Samples of suspected ACM were

forwarded to a National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA) accredited laboratory

for analysis and issue of NATA endorsed reports.

Samples were collected from discreet locations without damaging the integrity of the material.

Samples were not taken from live electrical areas or from within air plenums such as air

conditioning fan rooms whilst plant was operating unless a qualified electrician was present or the

plant was electrically isolated. Samples of internal duct insulation around electric heating elements

were generally not able to be taken unless an electrician or air conditioning technician could provide

access. Comment regarding inaccessible materials is provided in Section 3.6 and in the Survey

Results Register in Appendix A.

AECOM did not access high level areas (above the reach of a step ladder) unless provision was

made by the client for safe access. High level areas may be presumed to contain asbestos or other

hazardous materials based on the surveyor’s visual assessment and experience.

c) SMF materials were identified visually or as a result of asbestos identification analysis.

d) Representative painted surfaces were tested for the presence of lead using Lead Check swabs

which provide an indication of whether the paint contains lead.

e) Representative fluorescent light fittings were inspected to assess the presence of capacitors that

may contain PCB. The identification details printed on the capacitors were compared to a database

to determine whether the capacitors contain PCB. Samples were not collected from live electrical

fittings unless a qualified electrician was present to dismantle the light fittings. Analysis may have

been required if a capacitor was not listed on the PCB database.

f) Suspected hazardous materials were photographed where possible.

g) A report was prepared, detailing the location, condition and type of hazardous materials detected.

The areas not accessible due to access restrictions are detailed Section 3.6 and in the Survey

Results Register in Appendix A of this report.

3.2 Asbestos-Containing Materials

Where samples of materials suspected of containing asbestos were identified, these were collected and sent for analysis to a NATA registered laboratory. The samples were examined using a stereo microscope and selected fibres were further examined using polarised light microscopy supplemented with dispersion staining.



Further analysis by x-ray diffraction was performed on resinous samples (and other samples as determined by the laboratory) as an added means of determining the presence of asbestos. X-ray diffraction detects crystalline substances and minerals (including asbestos-forming minerals). Non-crystalline substances (e.g. glass, most organic compounds) are not detectable by this technique.

The NATA endorsed asbestos identification reports are contained in Appendix E.

Sampling is not always possible due to a number of factors, which might include a lack of accessibility, the possibility of damaging finishes or the risk of causing asbestos contamination.

Where sampling was not possible, a determination was reasonably made as to the presence or absence of asbestos. This determination was based on factors such as the age, physical appearance or fixing method (nail and screw heads, cover strips or cover battens). Additionally, a determination might be made by inference from the sample analysis results of similar materials sampled during the survey.

3.3 Synthetic Mineral Fibre

Materials containing SMF were primarily identified by visual means and/or as a result of fibre identification analysis.

3.4 Polychlorinated Biphenyls

The location of suspected PCB-containing capacitors was determined by inspecting representative light fittings throughout the survey area and noting and recording details printed externally on the capacitor. Capacitor details were then cross-referenced against Identification of PCB Containing Capacitors published by the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC) in 1997.

In cases where the printed details are not contained with the ANZECC document, determinations of potential PCB content were made based on available information including capacitor type, age, appearance, shape, material of construction and weight.

3.5 Lead Based Paint

Identification of lead based paints was conducted in accordance with Appendix 1 – Standard Practice for Identification of Lead Paint taken from AS4361.2 – 1998 Guide to Lead Paint Management – Part 2: Residential and Commercial Buildings.

Suspected lead based paint was assessed using lead indicator test kits upon accessible and representative painted surfaces within the Site. Lead indicator test kits use a colorimetric method to determine the presence of lead within painted surfaces. Painted surfaces were scored or roughened to expose underlying layers of paint. Lead indicator kits were then rubbed across all exposed surface layers to determine the presence of lead in paintwork.

Lead indicator test kits returning positive results were disposed of and not reused on alternative surfaces to determine lead content of paintwork.

Under current Australian Standards and guidelines, where the percentage lead content in paint exceeds 1.0%, the paint should be stabilised or removed by either chemical means or in a manner that does not liberate dust to the atmosphere.

3.6 Inaccessible Areas

No access was available to the following areas at the time of inspection:

Ceiling cavity to Design Environment offices, ground floor Lot 37 facing Corrimal Street, due to these offices being occupied by staff occupied at the time of inspection.

Ceiling cavity to residential property Lot 38, due to no suitable access or man hole.

Ceiling cavity to Wollongong Waterproofing toilets ground floor, lot C, due to no man hole being present.

Safe door internal core, Wollongong Waterproofing Lot B. This door is enclosed.

Vessel internal core, south yard Lot C. This unit is sealed.



For the purposes of risk management it is recommended that areas where access was not possible should also be presumed to potentially contain hazardous materials/asbestos until proven otherwise.

5.0 Results

The Hazardous Materials identified in this survey are presented in Appendix A.

The methodology used in deriving risk ratings for the asbestos risk assessment is provided in Appendix B of this report.

Where possible, a photographic record of hazardous material identified was taken and is presented in the Plates section of this report.

The client is advised that the Survey Results Register is not a definitive description of all hazardous materials present in the area(s) of investigation.



6.0 Recommendations

Where hazardous materials have been identified, appropriate risk management should be implemented to ensure that the risks are adequately controlled.

Risk management of hazardous materials identified may range from their complete removal to periodical inspection and review of the risks posed by materials left in situ.

Specific recommendations relating to the management of hazardous materials identified in this survey are presented in Appendix A. The sections below provide general guidance only on appropriate risk management measures and is not intended to provide definitive advice or recommendations as to any obligations that arise, or measures that should be taken, as a result of any identified hazardous materials.

6.1 Asbestos-Containing Materials

Friable asbestos is defined within NSW Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 as:

an asbestos-containing material which, when dry, is or may become crumbled, pulverised or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

Bonded asbestos is defined within NSW Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 as:

any material (other than friable asbestos material) that contains asbestos. Substitute “non-friable in all States/Territories other than NSW

Friable asbestos materials were identified during the survey as outlined in Appendix A.

According to Clause 260 of the NSW Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001, an employer must restrict access to friable asbestos materials and construction work processes involving friable asbestos material.

All friable asbestos removal work must be undertaken by an AS-1 licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor.

Bonded asbestos materials were identified and presumed present during the survey as outlined in Appendix A.

Asbestos was presumed present in some inaccessible areas as outlined in Appendix A.

Bonded asbestos materials in an intact condition may remain in place provided that they are not disturbed (e.g. sawn, drilled, abraded, or the like). As a precaution, any minor penetrations or damaged edges should be sealed with a suitable sealant material.

Any bonded asbestos materials that become damaged should be repaired and/or replaced with a non-asbestos alternative as soon as possible.

All bonded asbestos work should be undertaken by an AS1 or AS2 licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor. From 1 January 2008 an AS1 or AS2 licence is required for the removal of 10 m2 or more of bonded asbestos.

Where practical, the ACM should be labelled to warn of the presence of asbestos in accordance with the Code of Practice for the Safe Removal of Asbestos 2nd Edition [NOHSC: 2002 (2005)].

The ACM should also be reinspected on a regular basis or as determined by legislation by a competent person and any change to their condition reported.

An asbestos management plan should be developed and implemented to fulfil the requirements of NSW Occupational Health & Safety Regulation 2001, NOHSC asbestos codes of practice, and to help ensure that the risk of human exposure and environmental contamination is maintained at an acceptable level.

If construction, demolition, alteration or maintenance works and the like are likely to disturb the ACM then the ACM should be removed prior to works commencing.

The requirements for the removal of ACM should be specified in a Scope of Works Report (i.e. Work Plan). The Scope of Works report should be developed by a qualified and experienced asbestos consultant.

Removal of ACM is to be undertaken in accordance with the requirements outlined in NSW Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 and the following NOHSC asbestos codes of practice:

Code of Practice for the Safe Removal of Asbestos 2nd Edition [NOHSC:2002(2005)]

Code of Practice for the Management & Control of Asbestos in Workplaces [NOHSC:2018(2005)]



Guidance Note on the Membrane Filter Method for Estimating Airborne Asbestos Fibres 2nd Edition [NOHSC:3003(2005)].

Airborne asbestos monitoring should be carried out during the removal of friable ACM and all samples should be analysed by a NATA Accredited laboratory. In some cases, airborne asbestos monitoring will be required for the removal of bonded ACM. For example, airborne asbestos monitoring is recommended during bonded asbestos removal works at sensitive sites such as schools and hospitals.

At the completion of asbestos removal work, a clearance inspection should be conducted by a competent person to assess the adequacy of the removal works undertaken.

In order to avoid any potential conflict of interest, it is recommended that airborne asbestos monitoring and clearance inspections be performed by person/s independent of the asbestos removal contractor.

All asbestos waste must be disposed at a suitably approved waste collection facility. All tipping dockets must be retained.

6.2 Synthetic Mineral Fibre

Materials containing SMF were identified or presumed present during the survey as outlined in Appendix A.

Where SMF insulation in walls and ceilings was identified it has been reported in the Hazardous Materials Register. However, generally the presence of such insulation in enclosed wall and ceiling cavities cannot be determined. The presence of SMF in these areas should be determined prior to disturbance.

SMF may be enclosed or removed and replaced to reduce the risk of exposure to humans and environmental contamination.

All SMF work is to be undertaken in accordance with the requirements outlined in NSW Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 and the following NOHSC documents:

National Standard for Synthetic Mineral Fibres [NOHSC:1004(1990)]

National Code of Practice for the Safe Use of Synthetic Mineral Fibres [NOHSC:2006(1990)]

Guidance Note on the Membrane Filter Method for the Estimation of Airborne Synthetic Mineral Fibres [NOHSC:3006(1989)].

The Australian Safety and Compensation Council (ASCC), formerly known as NOHSC, 8 hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) exposure standard for airborne synthetic mineral fibre of 0.5 fibres per millilitre of air (fibres/mL) should not be exceeded during SMF removal works.

SMF waste is to be disposed at an approved waste collection facility.

6.3 Polychlorinated Biphenyls

Capacitors containing PCB are assumed present in fluorescent light fittings identified during the survey as outlined in Appendix A. Positive identification of the types of capacitors present may require a qualified electrician to isolate and de-energise the fittings prior to inspection.

PCB containing capacitors should be handled and disposed of in accordance with the PCB Chemical Control Order In Relation to Materials and Wastes Containing Polychlorinated Biphenyl, 1997, issued by the Environment Protection Authority of NSW) and the PCB Management Plan issued by ANZECC.

6.4 Lead Based Paint

Lead based paint was identified during the survey as outlined in the Survey Results Register Appendix A. It is possible that some lead paints may have been overlain by more recent, non-lead paint coatings.

According to current standards and guidelines, where lead content in paint (by weight) exceeds 1.0% (10,000 mg/kg), the paint should be stabilised or removed by either chemical means or in a manner that does not liberate dust to the atmosphere.

The current standards and guidelines pertaining to lead paint management, removal, stabilisation and disposal are as follows:

the Australian Safety and Compensation Council (ASCC) 8 hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) exposure level for inorganic lead (dusts and fumes) in air is 0.15 mg/m3.



Australian Standard AS4361.1 – 1995, Guide to Lead Paint Management, Part 1: Industrial

Australian Standard AS4361.2 – 1998, Guide to Lead Paint Management, Part 2: Residential and Commercial Buildings

DECC Environmental Guidelines: Assessment, Classification & Management of Liquid & Non-Liquid Wastes.

It should be noted that during any lead paint removal and prior to disposal of waste materials sampling should be undertaken to assess the appropriate waste disposal criteria. Results of the sample analysis should be compared against DECC Environmental Guidelines: Assessment, Classification and Management of Liquid & Non-Liquid Wastes to ensure correct disposal procedures are followed.

It should also be noted that the removal of lead based paint which is in good condition prior to demolition or refurbishment works is not necessary and the demolition rubble is classified as inert by the NSW DECC for disposal purposes.

Appendix B Asbestos Risk Assessment Methodology



The potential risks posed by asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in premises are due to a number of risk factors including the:

ACM classification/friability of the material

condition of the material

activities which may affect the material

risk of fibre release from the material

location of the material.

The risk assessment methodology used by AECOM is based on the Australian Standard AS4360-2004 Risk Management. The hazard levels for this assessment have been determined according to Table 2.

Table 2: Hazard Levels

Risk Factor/Description Hazard Level

ACM Classification

Bonded or Non-Friable

Materials that contain asbestos in a bonded matrix (may consist of Portland cement or various resin/binders and cannot be crushed by hand when dry).

2

Friable ACM which, when dry, is or may become crumbled, pulverised or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

5

Condition

Good In situ materials that exhibit little or no sign of damage or deterioration.

1

Fair Materials that exhibit mild to moderate damage and/or deterioration.

2

Poor Materials that exhibit moderate to severe damage or deterioration. 3

Activities

Low The location of the material and use of the area indicate that the material will not likely be disturbed during normal operations.

1

Moderate The location of the material and use of the area indicate that the material might be disturbed during normal operations.

2

High The location of the material and use of the area indicate that the material is likely to be disturbed during normal operations. Evidence of prior disturbance may be present.

4


Low Material is not prone to release asbestos fibres (e.g. resins, floor tiles).

1

Moderate Material that may release fibres upon disturbance (e.g. cement products).

2

High Material likely to release significant fibre concentrations upon disturbance (e.g. spray coating).

3

Location

Low ACM is present in an open environment (e.g. outdoors). 1

Moderate ACM is present within a semi-enclosed environment. 2

High ACM is located within an enclosed environment and exposed to forced ventilation.

4



The multiplication of the asbestos type and each risk factor can be then used to determine the Hazard Level as follows:

ACM Classification x Condition x Activities x Risk of Fibre Release x Location = Hazard Level

The recommended health risk/action priority rating for each Hazard Level is provided in Table 3.

Table 3: Risk Ratings

Risk Rating Overall Hazard Level

Low 0 – 19

Moderate 20 – 49

High > 50

Control measure guidelines for each Risk Rating is provided in Table 4.

Table 4: Definitions of Risk Rating and Control Measure Guidelines

Risk Rating Definition

Health Risk Low Products or materials that pose negligible risk to employees and the general public. They consist of materials that currently are in a good condition, located in areas which are not subject to activities that may impact upon them and are of a type which do not readily release asbestos fibres upon contact. These materials should be identified and warning signs erected. The material does not present a significant risk unless disturbed by intrusive work such as drilling, cutting, breaking or sanding.

Hazard Level 0 – 19

Action Priority AP3

Health Risk Moderate Products or materials that pose a risk to employees and the public in their current state. They consist of materials whose condition has degraded, in an area where they may be impacted upon by surrounding activities and of a type that can release asbestos fibres upon contact. Removal or encapsulation and regular reviews or assessments are recommended for these materials.

Hazard Level 20 – 49

Action Priority AP2

Health Risk High Products or materials that pose an immediate or elevated risk to employees or the public in their current state. They consist of materials that are in poor condition, may be located within return air plenums or are in an area where activities are very likely to impact upon the material. Immediate actions should be taken for these materials to be removed by a licensed asbestos removal contractor. Alternative management strategies must be considered where removal of ACM is not practicable.

Hazard Level > 50

Action Priority AP1

The Asbestos Register should form part of the Site Health and Safety Management System and will need to be reviewed at least annually or sooner where there is any significant change in circumstances.

It should be noted that any risk assessment presented in this document was made on the basis of the nature of activities observed at the time the survey was undertaken. Changes in circumstances which affect the current Risk Assessment should be notified to your AECOM Consultant.

ASBESTOS-FORMING MINERAL IDENTIFICATION REPORT


ADDRESS: Level 5/828 Pacific Highway, Gordon NSW 2072 REPORT NO: 9AA1022JX



PO NO: 130333

PROCEDURE The samples were analysed by X-ray diffraction, which detects crystalline substances and minerals (including asbestos-forming minerals). Non-crystalline substances (eg glass, most organic compounds) are not detectable by this technique. RESULTS This report contains estimated percentages of asbestos-forming minerals based on X-ray diffraction analysis. These estimates have large and variable errors which depend on the nature of the sample (particularly its degree of heterogeneity and the nature of the matrix). They should be considered as approximations at best and no guarantee is given as to their accuracy.
