4.2.1 Lead

For paints identified as having elevated levels of lead (i.e., greater than the EACO guideline of 0.1% for
lead-containing paints), construction disturbance may result in over-exposure to lead dust or fumes. The
need for work procedures, engineering controls and personal protective equipment should be assessed
on a site specific basis to comply with provincial standards or guidelines. Performing an exposure
assessment during work that disturbs lead in paints and coatings may be able to reduce the use of some
of these precautions.

For paints identified as having low levels of lead (i.e., less than the EACO guideline of 0.1% for lead-
containing paints). Special precautions are not recommended unless aggressive disturbance (grinding,
blasting, torching) is planned.

Lead-containing items (lead acid batteries) should be recycled when taken out of service or prior to
building demolition.

4.2.2 Silica

Construction disturbance of silica-containing products may result in excessive exposures to airborne


silica, especially if performed indoors and dry. Cutting, grinding, drilling or demolition of materials
containing silica should be completed only with proper respiratory protection and other worker safety
precautions that comply with provincial standards or guidelines.

4.2.3 Mercury

Do not break lamps. Recycle and reclaim mercury from fluorescent lamps when taken out of service.

Methodology
Hazardous Building Materials Assessment May 11, 2018
Methodology Appendix Pinchin File: 223396

1.0 GENERAL

Pinchin conducts a room-by-room survey (rooms, corridors, service areas, exterior, etc.) to identify the
hazardous building materials as defined by the scope of work. All work is conducted in accordance with
our own internal Standard Operating Procedures.

Information regarding the location and condition of hazardous building materials encountered and visually
estimated quantities are recorded. The locations of any samples collected are recorded on small-scale
plans.

As-built drawings and previous reports are referenced where provided.

1.1 Limitations on Scope

The assessment excludes the following:

• Articles belonging to the owner, tenant or occupant (e.g. stored items, furniture,
appliances, etc.);

• Underground materials or equipment (e.g. vessels, drums, underground storage tanks,


pipes, etc.);

• Building envelope, structural components, inaccessible or concealed materials or other


items where sampling may cause consequential damage to the property;

• Energized systems (e.g. internal boiler components, elevators, mechanical or electrical


components);

• Controlled products (e.g. stored chemicals, operational or process-related substances);


and

• Materials not typically associated with construction (e.g. settled dust, spills, residual
contamination from prior spills, etc.).

The assessment includes limited demolition of wall and ceiling finishes (drywall or plaster) to view
concealed conditions at representative areas as permitted by the current building use. Limited destructive
testing of flooring is conducted where possible (under carpets or multiple layers of flooring). Demolition of
exterior building finishes, masonry walls (chases, shafts etc.), and structural items is not conducted.

1.2 Asbestos

An inspection is conducted for the presence of friable and non-friable asbestos-containing materials
(ACM). A friable material is a material that when dry can be crumbled, pulverized or powdered by hand
pressure.

Hazardous Building Materials Assessment May 11, 2018
Methodology Appendix Pinchin File: 223396

A separate set of samples is collected of each type of homogenous material suspected to contain
asbestos. A homogenous material is defined by the US EPA as material that is uniform in texture and
appearance, was installed at one time, and is unlikely to consist of more than one type or formulation of
material. The homogeneous materials are determined by visual examination and available information on
the phases of construction and prior renovations.

Samples are collected at a rate that is in compliance with the requirements of local regulations and
guidelines. The sampling strategy is also based on known ban dates and phase out dates of the use of
asbestos; sampling of certain building materials is not conducted after specific construction dates. In
addition, to be conservative, several years past these dates are added to account for some uncertainty in
the exact start / finish date of construction and associated usage of ACM.

In some cases, manufactured products such as asbestos cement pipe are visually identified without
sample confirmation.

Flooring mastic or adhesive is sampled and analyzed if present on the underside of flooring samples
(vinyl floor tile and vinyl sheet flooring).

The following materials (if present) are not sampled and will be presumed to contain asbestos.

• Concrete floor levelling compound

• Electrical components or wiring within control centers, breakers, motors or lights,


insulation on wiring

• Mechanical packing, ropes and gaskets

• Vermiculite in concrete block wall cavities

• Adhesives and duct mastics

• Caulking

• Fire resistant doors

The bulk samples are submitted to a NVLAP accredited laboratory for analysis. The analysis is performed
in accordance with Test Method EPA/600/R-93/116: Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk
Building Materials, July 1993.

Analytical results are compared to the following criteria.

Jurisdiction Friable Non-Friable

Ontario 0.5% 0.5%

Hazardous Building Materials Assessment May 11, 2018
Methodology Appendix Pinchin File: 223396

The asbestos analysis is completed using a stop positive approach. Only one result meeting the above
regulated criteria is required to determine that a material is asbestos-containing, but all samples must be
analyzed to conclusively determine that a material is non-asbestos. The laboratory stops analyzing
samples from a homogeneous material once a result equal to or greater than the regulated criteria is
detected in any of the samples of that material. All samples of a homogeneous material are analyzed if no
asbestos is detected. In some cases, all samples are analyzed in the sample set regardless of result.

Where building materials are described in the report as “non-asbestos” or “does not contain asbestos”,
this means that either no asbestos was detected by the analytical method utilized in any of the multiple
samples or, if detected, it is below the lower limit of an asbestos-containing material in the applicable
regulation.

Asbestos materials are evaluated in order to make recommendations regarding remedial work. The
priority for remedial action is based on several factors:

• Friability (friable or non-friable);

• Condition (good, fair, poor, debris);

• Accessibility (ranking from accessible to all building users to inaccessible);

• Efficiency of the work (for example, if damaged ACM is being removed in an area, it may
be most practical to remove all ACM in the area even if it is in good condition).

1.3 Lead

Samples of distinctive paint finishes and surface coatings present in more than a limited application,
where removal of the paint is possible is collected. The samples are collected by scraping the painted
finish to include base and covering applications. Drawings included show sample locations.

Analysis for lead in paints or surface coatings is performed at an accredited laboratory in accordance with
EPA Method No. 3050B/Method No. 7420; flame atomic absorption.

The Ontario Ministry of Labour (MOL) has not established a lower limit for concentrations of lead in paint,
below which precautions do not need to be considered during construction projects. Pinchin follows the
recommendations of the Environmental Abatement Council of Ontario (EACO) Lead Guideline for
Construction, Renovation, Maintenance or Repair. The Guideline suggests that 0.1% (1,000 ppm) lead in
paint represents a de minimis concentration of lead in paint for construction hygiene purposes, that is a
concentration below which the lead content is not the limiting hazard in any disturbance of leaded paint
for non-aggressive disturbance of painted finishes, (hand powered demolition, chipping, scraping, light
sanding, etc.). The use of aggressive methods such as power grinding, torching, welding, etc. may result
in significant lead exposures even with low concentrations of lead in paints (below 0.1%). Paint and
surface coatings are evaluated for condition such as flaking, chipping or spalling.

Hazardous Building Materials Assessment May 11, 2018
Methodology Appendix Pinchin File: 223396

Other lead building products (e.g. batteries, lead sheeting, flashing) are identified by visual observation
only.

1.4 Silica

Building materials known to contain crystalline silica (e.g. concrete, cement, tile, brick, masonry, mortar) is
identified by visual inspection only. Pinchin does not perform sampling of these materials for laboratory
analysis of crystalline silica content.

1.5 Mercury

Building materials/products/equipment (e.g. thermostats, barometers, pressure gauges, light tubes),


suspected to contain mercury are identified by visually inspection only. Dismantling of equipment
suspected of containing mercury is not performed. Sampling of these materials for laboratory analysis of
mercury content is not performed.

1.6 Polychlorinated Biphenyls

The potential for light ballast and wet transformers to contain PCBs is based on the age of the building, a
review of maintenance records and examination of labels or nameplates on equipment, where present
and accessible. The information is compared to known ban dates of PCBs and Environment Canada
publications.

Dry type transformers are presumed to be free of dielectric fluids and hence non-PCB.

Fluids (mineral oil, hydraulic, Aroclor or Askarel) in transformers or other equipment are not sampled for
PCB content.

Non-liquid forms of PCBs (i.e. sealants or caulking) are not sampled for PCB content.

1.7 Visible Mould

The presence of mould is determined by visual inspection of exposed building surfaces. If any mould
growth is concealed within building cavities it is not addressed in this assessment.
