Area(s) Surveyed: See Report Summary for details of the scope, limitations and areas surveyed.

Type of Survey: Type 2 - Standard Sampling, Identification and Assessment, (see Additional Information
section for definition)

Purpose, Aims and Objectives
This survey was undertaken to establish the presence and nature of asbestos based materials in the
area(s) surveyed.  Surveying, sampling and assessment of asbestos-containing materials was carried
out in accordance with MDHS 100: July 2001.

Representative bulk and - if applicable - air samples were taken from the locations detailed in the
following  pages  of  this  report.    The  bulk  samples  were  subject  to  a  careful  cleaning  procedure
involving  disintegration  of  the  sample,  acid  washing,  solvent  washing,  filtration  etc.,  in  order  to
expose fibres in a form suitable for microscopic analysis.  Analysis was carried out in accordance
with HSG 248 – ‘Asbestos: The analysts’ guide for sampling, analysis and clearance procedures.’
by documented in-house procedures.

Vega  Environmental  Consultants  Ltd  cannot  accept  responsibility  for  any  errors  or
misinterpretations  introduced  into  a  survey,  or  any  resulting  conclusions,  as  a  result  of  a  reduced
sampling frequency specified by a client.

This survey attempts to identify all asbestos materials within the agreed scope of work. However, as
asbestos  materials  can  be  completely  hidden/buried  within  a  structure,  VEGA  cannot  accept
responsibility for additional materials that may be identified at a later date.

This report must not be reproduced except in full, without written approval of Vega Environmental
Consultants Ltd

REPORT SUMMARY

Report No:   AR/07/2367

Survey Specification:

Type 2 Survey:

Definition:
Type  2  Survey  (Standard  Sampling,  Identification  and  Assessment):
The  analyst  will  do  a  general  walk  around  the  whole  area  and  look  at  all
readily  accessible  areas.  From  his  experience  the  analyst  will  attempt  to
identify  any  asbestos  and/or  asbestos  products  without  the  need  for
sampling.  The  areas  will  be  assessed  and  where  appropriate  will  be
presumed to contain asbestos. Where it appears highly likely that materials
will  contain  asbestos,  there  should  be  a  strong  presumption  that  it  does.
All  materials,  which  are  presumed  to  contain  asbestos,  must  be  assessed
using the Material Assessment Algorithm.  Where practicable representative
samples  will  be  taken  from  all  materials  in  accordance  with  full  sampling
frequency recommendations and analysed.  Sample points will be made safe
but redecoration will not be carried out. (see Appendix A)

Area(s) Surveyed / Excluded:

The details of the scope, limitations and areas surveyed during the course of this survey are
listed below:

On 06 September 2007, a type 2 survey was carried out at the Learner Pool, Collingwood
Special  School,  Stobhillgate,  Morpeth,  Northumberland.    The  premises  surveyed  were
erected in the 1970s of single storey construction with a flat felt roof.
All accessible areas of the Learner Pool were surveyed.

The  purpose  of  the  survey  was  to  identify  and  report  on  the  presence  and  condition  of
asbestos based materials.

Learner Pool

Boiler  Room  –  wall  panels  are  an  asbestos
containing  material  (ACM  sample  BS/01).
Due  to  the  ease  of  access  to  this  material,
enclosure  behind  mechanical  protection
(e.g.  sheet  metal  cladding)  is  required  in
order for them to remain in place, subject to
routine  surveillance  monitoring.    Removal
and  replacement  with  a  non-asbestos
alternative  may  be  a  more  appropriate
action.

Similar  panels  can  be  found  to  the  Boiler
  Room  Ceiling.    Refer  to  asbestos  register,

page 4.

Insurance Information
Issued By: Marie Thompson

Report No: AR/07/2367

Vega  Environmental  Consultants  Ltd  hold  Professional  Indemnity  Insurance.    This  policy  is  provided  by  Miles  Smith
(Policy No. S31050027).  The certificate of Insurance contains the following Caveat:

Every effort has been made to identify all asbestos materials as far as was reasonably practical to do so within the
scope  of  the  survey  and  the  attached  report.    Methods  used  to  carry  out  the  survey  were  agreed  with  the  client
prior to any works being commenced.

Survey  techniques  used  involve  trained  and  experienced  surveyors  using  the  combined  approach  with  regard  to  visual
examination and necessary bulk sampling.  It is always possible after a survey that asbestos based materials of one sort or
another may remain in the property or area covered by that survey, this could be due to various reasons:


Asbestos materials existing within areas not specifically covered by this report are therefore outside the scope
of the survey.

Materials may be hidden or obscured by other items or cover finishes, e.g. paint, over boarding, disguising etc.
Where this is the case then its detection will be impaired.

Asbestos  may  well  be  hidden  as  part  of  the  structure  to  a  building  and  not  visible  until  the  structure  is
dismantled at a later date.

Debris  from  previous  asbestos  removal  projects  may  well  be  present  in  some  areas;  general  asbestos  debris
does not form part of this survey however all good intentions are made for its discovery.

Where an area has been previously stripped of asbestos (e.g. plant rooms, ducts etc) and new coverings added,
it  must  be  pointed  out  that  asbestos  removal  techniques  have  improved  steadily  over  the  years  since  its
introduction.    Most  notably  would  be  the  Control  of  Asbestos  at  Work  Regulations  2002  or  other  similar
subsequent Regulations laying down certain enforceable guidelines.  Asbestos removal prior to this regulation
would not be of today’s standard and therefore debris may be present below new coverings.

This survey will detail all areas accessed and all samples taken: where an area is not covered by this survey it
will be due to no access for one reason or another, e.g. working operatives, sensitive location or just simply no
access.    It  may  have  been  necessary  for  the  limits  of  the  surveyor’s  authority  to  be  confirmed  prior  to  the
survey.

Access for the survey may be restricted for many reasons beyond our control such as height, inconvenience to
others,  immoveable  obstacles  or  confined  space.    Where  electrical  equipment  is  present  and  presumed  in  the
way of the survey no access will be attempted until proof of its safe state is given.  Our operatives have a duty
of care under the Health & Safety at Work etc Act 1974 for both themselves and others.

In  the  building  where  asbestos  has  been  located  and  it  is  clear  that  not  all  areas  have  been  investigated,  any
material that is found to be suspicious and not detailed as part of the survey should be treated with caution and
sampled accordingly.

Certain  materials  contain  asbestos  to  varying  degrees  and  some  may  be  less  densely  contaminated  at  certain
locations (e.g. Artex).  Where this is the case the sample taken may not be representative of the whole product
throughout.

Where a survey is carried out under the guidance of the owner of the property, or his representative, then the
survey will be as per his instructions and guidance at the that time.

Vega Environmental Consultants Ltd cannot accept any liability for loss, injury, damage or penalty issues due
to errors or omissions within this report.

Vega Environmental Consultants Ltd cannot be held responsible for any damage caused as part of this survey
carried  out  on  your  behalf.    Due  to  the  nature  and  necessity  of  sampling  for  asbestos  some  damage  is
unavoidable and will be limited to just that necessary for the taking of the sample.
