Section One - Executive Summary

Scope, Extent and Type of Survey Bureau Veritas have carried out an Asbestos Re-inspection Survey of 2931, 2 Market Street, Whittlesey Peterborough PE7 1BE at the request of ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLANDPLC.

The building is a single storey building that is currently being used as a NatWest Bank Branch..

Results Summary



Section Two - Introduction

Bureau Veritas UK Ltd have carried out an Asbestos Reinspection Survey of 2931 2 Market Street, Whittlesey, Peterborough PE7 1BE at the request of ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND PLC.

This Reinspection was carried out by James BELL (Consultant) of Bureau Veritas on 15/03/2018.

The purpose of an Asbestos Reinspection is to inspect previously identified asbestos containing materials (ACMs) within a building and report on their current condition. The aim is to provide the Customer (or Duty Holder) with sufficient information for ongoing management of ACMs within their building and to provide data to allow updates of an asbestos register as part of a management plan in accordance with the requirements of CAR 2012.

The report is based on the information from the 2017 Asbestos Re-inspection Report (B-35961) and Refurbishment Survey (B-35997). This report must be read in conjunction with ALL reports held on RBS Group MYCompliance for this site.

All confirmed, referenced or presumed asbestos material has been included within the scope of this reinspection.

Bureau Veritas cannot accept responsibility for the accuracy of information provided by third parties including core survey data upon which this reinspection report is based.

It should be noted that this Asbestos Reinspection report is not intended to be used as a Bill of Quantities for the removal of asbestos containing materials (ACMs) identified at the site and should be used as a reference document only when tendering. All quantities detailed within this report are approximations and should be verified by the customer.



Section Three - Re-inspection Results

Reinspection Register

The results of the site inspections and any sampling are recorded on the Re-inspection Survey Data Sheets in Appendix One.

Limitations of Access

During the course of the reinspection, every effort was made to gain access to all areas within the agreed scope. Where it has not been possible to gain suitable and sufficientaccess to ACM’s, these areas have been identified in the table below.Until such time as non accessed ACM’s can be reinspected, they should be regarded as being in a deteriorated state and an appropriate management procedure should beimplemented. Once access is gained their condition should be recorded and, where applicable, remedial action taken before the area is occupied. It is recommended that BureauVeritas complete the reinspection once access is made available.

Section Four - Conclusions & Recommendations

ConclusionsDetails of locations where ACMs have been inspected, along with material assessments and management actions are provided in Appendix One of this report.

The material assessment identifies those materials which will most readily release fibres if disturbed. However, a separate Priority Assessment is required to determine whichmaterials should be given priority for remedial action.

This Priority Assessment takes into account factors such as:maintenance activity;occupant activity;likelihood of disturbance;human exposure potential

According to Regulation 4(8) of CAR 2012 the Priority Assessment should be completed by the Customer or nominated responsible person who will have detailed knowledge of thesite and site operations. Bureau Veritas are Accredited to assist Customers with this task, with provision of necessary information. Where Bureau Veritas have been instructed tocarry out these Priority Assessments, the details will be provided in Appendix One of this report.

During the course of site investigations it may not have been possible to access all areas of the site within the scope of the survey. Any such areas are detailed in Section 3 above.In accordance with HSG 264, asbestos is presumed to be present within these areas and should be treated accordingly until further investigations prove otherwise. The age of thebuilding may be taken into account in certain circumstances to make assumptions about the absence of certain ACM applications (e.g. following Prohibition Regulations foramphiboles in 1985 and nearly all Chrysotile products in 1999)

RecommendationsSpecific recommendations, along with appropriate timescales, are provided for each identified asbestos material on the reinspection data sheets in Appendix One of this report.However, the following, general advice may be followed:

Asbestos with material assessment scores of 10 or more should be regarded as a high risk with a significant potential to release fibres if disturbed. Scores of between 7 and 9 areregarded as medium risk and between 5 and 6 as low risk. Scores of 4 or less are very low risk. Non-asbestos materials are not scored. The material assessment score representsthe initial assessment of the priority for a control action.

In order to comply with Sections 2 and 3 of the HSAW 1974 (as amended) and Regulation 10 of the CAR 2012 the survey findings should be brought to the attention of thosepersons who are likely to come in contact with asbestos. Appropriate training should be provided to all those with responsibility for the day to day management of asbestos materials,and those who may come in to contact with asbestos as part of their normal day to day employment.In order to comply with Regulation 3 of The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations (as amended) 1999 and Regulation 6 of CAR 2012, a suitable and sufficient RiskAssessment must be carried out on ACMs.

A site specific Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) must be implemented to ensure compliance with Regulation 4 of CAR 2012 (Duty to Manage).The plan should address theCustomer’s Statement of Intent in respect to asbestos issues, and include details of the management structure and levels of responsibilities in relation to Regulation 4 of CAR 2012.A 6 monthly review should be implemented to ensure the continued effectiveness of the AMP.It is recommended that reinspections of ACM’s should be undertaken at a minimum frequency of every 6 to 12 months depending on their location.

If other materials not recorded within the Asbestos Survey Report are identified, for example by maintenance activities, refurbishment or demolition, and these materials aresuspected of containing asbestos, it is strongly recommended that all activities should cease until an assessment of the material can be made. The appointed company employed tocarry out sampling of suspect materials should be accredited by UKAS to ISO17020 for site sampling and surveying.

Where Management Actions require abatement of ACMs, this should be carried out under controlled conditions. It is recommended that such works be subject to a TechnicalSpecification compiled by an independent and impartial competent person.

The Customer should consider that the abatement works be tendered on a competitive basis or competitive quotations sought from suitable licensed Asbestos Removal Contractors,and that an impartial and competent person should evaluate the licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor Method Statement, Programme and other relevant information.

All disturbance and removal of ACMs should be adequately controlled. All analytical monitoring and supervision, during and on completion of the works, should be conducted by anAnalytical Consultancy appointed independently from the licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor who should verify the procedures and control employed by the licensed AsbestosRemoval Contractor. The Analytical Consultancy should not have common ownership, management or an informal understanding with the licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor.
