3 1.0 Sampling & Analysis: Building Notes: Internal notes: Ceramic tiles, vinyl floor covering and carpet on timber, chipboard and concrete floors. Plasterboard, timber panelling and compressed wood panelling on walls. Plasterboard, timber panelling and chipboard on ceilings. Area intrusively surveyed were agreed with client prior commencing the works. On the rest of the building only visual inspection was carried out and the findings are published in Management Survey. External notes: The exterior was not intrusively surveyed. On the rest of the building only visual inspection was carried out and the findings are published in Management Survey. Bulk sampling only was carried out to the areas listed in the areas surveyed table for suspected ACM's specified by the client representative as requiring analysis. 1.1 The object of bulk sampling is to identify the nature and extent of any visible ACM. Bulk sampling is undertaken in line with the recognised safe procedures in order to cause minimal possible nuisance and potential risk to health of the building occupants and visitors. Bulk samples are taken in accordance with documented ENGEO technical procedures, following guidelines detailed in HSG264 The Survey Guide and HSG248 The Analyst Guide. 1.2 Bulk samples are returned to the appointed bulk analysis laboratory with the appropriate sample / report reference number. 1.3 The sample container will indicate the sample number and the date taken. This label can be used along with the report for cross reference purposes. 1.4 Bulk sample analysis is carried out at an IANZ accredited laboratory, in accordance with HSE document HSG 248 The Analysts Guide and AS Method for the qualitative identification of asbestos in bulk samples. Samples are examined under a low magnification stereomicroscope and polarised light microscopy and dispersion staining in accordance with the aforementioned methods. Page 3 of 21

4 2.0 Exclusions and Caveats: 2.1 For safety reasons it is not possible to inspect internal areas of plant and machinery. Access to internal wall linings and general cavities was restricted to avoid excessive damage to surface finishes unless requested by the client. Where areas have been designated no access, or restricted access, unless further inspection/sampling proves otherwise, the presumption has been made that these structures/areas contain asbestos materials. During the course of the site visit it may not have been possible to access all areas of the site. Details of areas requiring further access are identified within the data sheets of this report. In accordance with HSG 264 The Survey Guide, asbestos is presumed to be present within these areas and should be treated accordingly until further inspection and analysis of building fabric and services proves otherwise. Residual asbestos material may be present beneath re lagged services and cannot be detected unless the re lagging is systematically removed. Caution should therefore be taken when working on such materials for the potential presence of asbestos residue. Jointing compound and textured Coatings such as Stipple may contain a trace quantity of Chrysotile asbestos. Due to this low asbestos content, applications of this product may be non homogenous and may elicit both positive and negative samples. Where both positive and negative samples are obtained from the same area, the client should presume that the jointing compound and textured coatings contains Chrysotile throughout even though a non detected result has been obtained. This report does not include investigations into land contamination associated with asbestos or any other contaminant. Page 4 of 21
