Dear Louis Smith

TfL Ref: FOI-0678-2324

Thank you for your request which we received on 1 June 2023, asking for
asbestos survey report for Victoria Underground Station.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access
policy.  I can confirm that we hold the information you require.

Please find attached the latest asbestos register for Victoria Underground
Station.

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under the Data
Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as required by
Regulation 13 of the Environmental Information Regulations. This is
because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the
legislation, specifically the first principle of the legislation, which
requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would
not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals
have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of
the conditions of Schedule 2 which would make the processing ‘fair’.

In public areas the vast majority of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs)
are contained behind station finishes and cannot be accessed by the
general public. Where areas of ACMs interface with the general public they
are in a position where they cause no risk to the general public or
staff. 

All stations accessed by the public and staff are re-inspected on a
periodic basis to ensure that no adverse damage has been caused to change
this status. If it is assessed and the status has changed for any reason,
then a risk assessment is undertaken which will result in either
encapsulation, encasement, or removal.

We have processes and procedures in place to ensure that the management of
asbestos is carried out in compliance with the Control of Asbestos
Regulations 2012.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable
to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would
like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
