2 Introduction
2.1 General
Environmental Management Solutions Ltd (EMS), 22A King Street, Hereford, HR4
9DA has carried out a Management Asbestos Survey at Weobley High School,
Burton Wood, Weobley, Herefordshire, HR4 8ST. The survey was undertaken by
Jason Phillips of EMS on the 06 October 2021 to 07 October 2021.
The survey was commissioned by Herefordshire Council, Plough Lane, Hereford,

HR4 0LE. The purpose of this report is to address the potential for asbestos
containing materials (ACMs) within the property as part of the client’s commitment
to the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR). Appendix A shows the layout of the
areas surveyed.
2.2 Scope
The scope of the survey included a management asbestos survey to Weobley High
School, Burton Wood, Weobley, Herefordshire HR4 8ST. The layout of the survey
can be seen on the appended plan.
The survey was carried out utilising standard access equipment as stated in our
terms and conditions, unless otherwise agreed. The scope excludes sub-surface
areas and soil contamination.
2.3 Legislation
CAR2012 requires ‘Duty Holders’ to manage asbestos in their buildings by means
of an asbestos management plan. The first step of this is to locate, identify and risk
assess asbestos containing materials within each non-domestic premises. All
information, including this survey report, should be made available to contractors
working in the property and cascaded down to relevant people including those who
may come into contact with the material.
A management survey has been undertaken in accordance with EMS in-house
procedures and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Guidance HSG264
Asbestos: The survey guide. This report will describe the work carried out and
document the results to enable the asbestos risk in the building to be managed in
accordance with the appropriate regulations.
The survey will aim to identify suspect material, confirm by testing and presume by
inspection, those areas of asbestos containing material (ACM). These areas can
then be dealt with in the appropriate manner to prevent contamination of the
building or exposure of subcontractors, employees or members of the public to
unnecessary risk.

2.4 Asbestos Surveyors
CAR2012 and HSG 264 refer to asbestos surveys being carried out by “competent
persons” with experience, training and suitable qualifications. EMS confirm that
their lead surveyors hold a minimum of the British Occupational Hygiene Society
Module P402: Building Surveys and Bulk Sampling for Asbestos or equivalent and
will hold the relevant experience for the project they are undertaking. EMS maintain
a qualification and authorisation matrix in accordance with the UKAS document
RG8 ‘Accreditation of Bodies Surveying for Asbestos in Premises’.
2.5 Management Asbestos Survey

This report is a description of a management asbestos survey undertaken to
comply with legislation. The purpose of which is to determine the nature and extent
of any ACM within the premises. An assessment of the condition and proposed
risk of fibre release from any ACM identified is made. Remedial actions which may
be applicable are detailed if required.
The purpose of this report is:
• To determine the nature and extent of any identified ACM during

the site investigation
• To provide an assessment of the condition of ACM present and

risk of fibre release from the material
• To provide an assessment of the need for and scope of remedial

works to reduce risk to site operatives due to the actual presence
of ACM
A management asbestos survey is to allow everyday occupation and use of a

building and to allow minor foreseeable maintenance to be undertaken; therefore,
any intrusive maintenance, refurbishment or demolition will require a more intrusive
asbestos survey.
Generally, unless stated, a management asbestos survey will not include access
into sealed box work, beneath floorboards or into structural voids and cavities. The
survey should include areas that can be safely accessed without destructive entry
such as above suspended ceiling tiles, into basements and into floor ducts.
2.6 Limitations of the Report

This report is based on the information that has been made available to us from
the client regarding site operations. The conclusions drawn in the report are
considered correct although any subsequent additional information may allow
refinement of the conclusions. It should be noted that:

• The report has been prepared under the express instructions and solely for the
use of Herefordshire Council.
• The findings of this report represent the professional opinion of experienced

asbestos surveyors and is produced in accordance with EMS in house
procedures based upon the guidelines within the Health and Safety (HSE)
Guidance Health and Safety (HSE) Guidance HSG264 Asbestos: The survey
guide. EMS does not provide legal advice and the advice of lawyers may also
be required.
• All work carried out in preparing this report has utilised, and is based upon,
EMS’s current professional knowledge and understanding of current relevant
UK standards, codes, technology and legislation. Changes in this legislation
and guidance may occur at any time in the future and cause any conclusions
to become inappropriate or incorrect. EMS does not accept responsibility for
advising Herefordshire Council or other interested parties of the facts or
implications of any such changes.
• It is stressed that while every effort was made to identify the locations and full
extent of all asbestos materials in the specified area, such material may be
located within the structural matrix of the building or in other inaccessible
areas. It should be noted that this survey is not an intrusive level survey and
responsibility cannot be accepted for any materials located beyond the scope
of a management level survey. If asbestos materials have been suspected but
not sampled, this has been highlighted in the report.
• The report is limited to the areas identified by Herefordshire Council on this

site.
• All samples were analysed at our UKAS accredited laboratory in accordance

with our “in house” method of transmitted/polarised light microscopy and centre
stop dispersion staining and the methods outlined in HSG248. The certificates
of analysis are included in appendix B of this report.

3 Survey Description
3.1 Building description

The site consists of a mid 20th Century school unit which has been extended on
several occasions to provide further teaching and student facilities. Many areas
have been refurbished throughout the history of the unit. External asbestos
boarding is present along with modern uPVC capping and windows. Cement
windowsills remain in many rooms internally.
The main school structure is a three storey concrete and steel framed unit with
concrete floor slabs throughout. Floors are covered with asbestos vinyl floor tiles
in many areas; asbestos bitumen remains to the concrete slab where these tiles
have been historically removed. Walls are a mixture of solid and
plasterboard/timber partitions. Asbestos boarding was noted in several areas
(see asbestos register below)
Extensive ducts are present on the ground floor; these have insulation board and
thermal insulation debris within, plus cement and composite asbestos products
and associated debris. Heating for the unit is centred from the externally
accessed boiler room; insulation board debris is present in this area.

3.2 Areas Not accessed
In accordance with the HSE Guidance HSG264 Asbestos: The survey guide, areas
which cannot be accessed or inspected at the time of the survey must be presumed
to contain asbestos, unless there is strong evidence to prove otherwise. The areas
highlighted are only those that should be accessed on a management survey but
does not include those areas that would only be accessed by intrusive
investigation.
The areas not accessed during the survey can be found in the ‘No Access’ register
within Section 4.
3.3 Sampling Strategy

Sampling was not carried out where it would have caused unreasonable damage
to the buildings fabric or where it would be unsafe to do so. In some cases,
asbestos materials have been identified without sampling.

All sampling was undertaken in accordance with EMS in house procedures based
upon the guidelines within Health and Safety (HSE) Guidance HSG264 Asbestos:
The survey guide. The samples were double bagged, labelled and submitted to the
laboratory as bulk samples.
Samples taken during the survey are detailed on the test certificate in Appendix B.
Each sample, along with a photograph of each sampling point, is included within
the asbestos register in section 4 of this report; positive materials, along with
presumed materials, will be evaluated and risk assessed in accordance with
HSG264.
3.4 Presumed materials

In areas where sampling was not possible or practical, materials are either
presumed or strongly presumed in accordance with EMS in house procedures
based upon the guidelines within the HSE Guidance HSG264 Asbestos: The
survey guide.
As defined by the HSE, materials that are strongly presumed look as if they may
contain asbestos, upon visual inspection by an experienced, trained surveyor.
Materials that are presumed to contain asbestos where there is insufficient
evidence to confirm that it is asbestos free, or where a duty holder/surveyor
decides that it is easier under planned management arrangements to presume
certain materials to contain asbestos.
Presumed materials should be treated as asbestos containing materials until

proven otherwise and therefore are included in the asbestos register within this
report.

4 Survey Results
4.1 Introduction
All samples were analysed at our UKAS accredited laboratory in accordance with
our “in house” method of transmitted/polarised light microscopy and centre stop
dispersion staining and the methods outlined in HSG248. The certificates of
analysis are included in appendix B of this report.
4.2 Material Risk Assessment

Each ACM has been risk assessed in accordance with the algorithm within
HSG264 Asbestos: The survey guide; this is shown below. The Material Risk
Assessment (MRA) score identifies the risk level of the materials, that is, the risk
that the material will release airborne fibres if disturbed. Presumed materials are
scored as asbestos, as if they were asbestos containing.
Materials with assessment scores of 10 or more are regarded as having a high

potential to release fibres, if disturbed. Scores of between 7 and 9 are regarded as
having a medium potential, and between 5 and 6 a low potential. Scores of 4 or
less have a very low potential to release fibres. Non-asbestos materials are not
scored.
For presumed materials the asbestos type must be calculated as Crocidolite until
proved otherwise. In most cases it is unlikely that Crocidolite has been used; but
unless the material risk assessment highlights a medium or high potential for fibre
release it is acceptable to manage the presumed materials on the presumption of
Crocidolite. Further investigation may be required before major maintenance or
demolition.

4.3 Asbestos Register

The asbestos register for the site, including the MRA scores, can be found overleaf.
The asbestos register contains materials both proven and presumed to contain
asbestos; the register also offers guidance as to whether work with each product
is likely to be classified as licensed, therefore requiring a licensed contractor and
a 14 day notification period. The basis for determining tasks that require a license
is dependent upon a risk assessment of the potential fibre release during work with
the product. Therefore, further assessment or consultation with the HSE may be
required.
Some work with Non-Licensed products may require notification to the HSE under
the category Notifiable Non-Licensed Work, again this is task dependant and each
task will require a specific risk assessment.
Along with the MRA scores recommendations have been made for future
management of the materials

4.4 Negative Samples Register
Samples that have tested negative for the presence for asbestos are presented
within the following register, along with photographs of each sampling point.
4.5 Areas Not Accessed Register

Areas that have not been accessed during the survey are presented within the
following register with a photograph of each location.
These areas have not been risk assessed but a worst case scenario of ‘High Risk’
of fibre release should be applied if these areas are disturbed.

5 Conclusions
5.1 General
During the survey asbestos materials have been identified on the site. Any
identified materials and associated material risk assessment are detailed in the
tables in Section 4 of this report. In addition, any no accessed areas are recorded
in the relevant table.
5.2 Conclusions and Recommendations

Each positively identified material has been risk assessed and individual
recommendations made, these can be found in Section 4 of this report, however
these following recommendations may also be noted.
Under CAR 2012, there is a legal duty to manage asbestos within any non-
domestic premises. The survey is the first stage of that process but is not enough
to comply with the regulations.
Any materials identified within the survey will require regular monitoring as a
minimum level of management. All site procedures, re-inspections and priority
ratings should be included in the Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) for the site.
The AMP must include a procedure for controlling maintenance and/or
refurbishment works. Areas not accessed as part of this survey must be considered
as part of the AMP.
If any intrusive maintenance or refurbishment works are planned a more intrusive

survey will be required.
Any work on or adjacent to asbestos containing materials will require a specific risk
assessment and this will determine if notification to the HSE or a licensed
contractor is required.
