Vancouver Coastal Health Authority (Client) retained Pinchin Ltd. (Pinchin) to conduct a hazardous
building materials assessment at Richmond General Hospital located at 7000 Westminster Highway,
Richmond, British Columbia.
Pinchin performed the assessment on February 13, 2023. The surveyor was unaccompanied during the
assessment. The assessed area was unoccupied at the time of the assessment.
The objective of the assessment was to identify specified hazardous building materials in preparation for
building renovation activities. The proposed work includes renovations to the existing Third Floor Sleep
Lab as identified by the Client in the email sent to Pinchin on February 8, 2023.
The results of this assessment are intended for use with a properly developed scope of work or
performance specification.
The assessed area is limited to the Third Floor Sleep Lab and associated Patient Rooms, a section of
the adjacent Hallway (HMIS Loc. 113-119, 186), and a small area of the ceiling plenum in the Second
Floor Pharmacy immediately below the Sleep Lab (HMIS Loc. 220), as described by the Client, and
identified in the drawings in Appendix I.
The assessment was performed to establish the type of specified hazardous building materials, locations
and approximate quantities incorporated in the structure and its finishes.
For the purpose of the assessment and this report, hazardous building materials are defined as follows:
• Asbestos
• Lead
• Silica
• Mercury
• Mould
2.0 METHODOLOGY
Pinchin conducted a room-by-room assessment to identify the hazardous building materials as defined in
the scope.
The assessment included limited destructive testing of wall and ceiling finishes (drywall and plaster).
Limited destructive testing of flooring was conducted where possible (under multiple layers of flooring).
Demolition of exterior building finishes, masonry walls (chases, shafts etc.), and structural surrounds was
not conducted.
For further details on the methodology including test methods, refer to Appendix III.
Pinchin reviewed the existing HMIS data and incorporated the information available into this report, where
applicable.
4.0 FINDINGS
The following section summarizes the findings of the assessment and provides a general description of
the hazardous building materials identified. For details on approximate quantities, condition, friability,
accessibility, and locations of hazardous building materials; refer to the Hazardous Material Summary /
Sample Log and All Data Report in Appendices V and VI.
Any quantities listed in this report or data tables are estimated based on visual approximations only and
are subject to variation.
4.1 Asbestos
Spray-applied fireproofing and overspray present on the structure between the Sleep Lab and the
Hallway does not contain asbestos (samples S0979A-C).
Parging cement, previously identified to contain asbestos (sample S0150), is present on pipe elbows in
the ceiling plenum of the Pharmacy (Loc. 220). The material is not within the project area and is not
expected to be impacted by the planned renovations.
Black canvas wrap present as a jacketing over fibreglass on pipes in the Pharmacy does not contain
asbestos (sample S0984).
All other pipes in the assessed area are either uninsulated or insulated with non-asbestos fibreglass.
Ducts are either uninsulated or insulated with non-asbestos fibreglass (foil-faced jacketing).
Grey duct mastic present at seams / joints on the exterior of ducts throughout the Sleep lab and Patient
Rooms does not contain asbestos (samples S0976A-C).
Black duct mastic present at seams / joints on the exterior of ducts in the Hallway (Loc. 186) does not
contain asbestos (samples S0035, S0983A-C).
Ceiling tiles are presumed to be non-asbestos based on the date of manufacture determined from the
date stamp applied to the top of the tiles (2002). The tiles were manufactured after asbestos stopped
being used in acoustic ceiling tiles.
Ceiling tiles, 2’x4’, with small fissures and pinholes, were previously sampled and determined to be non-
asbestos (sample S0012).
4.1.5 Plaster
Plaster present on walls and ceilings throughout the assessed area does not contain asbestos (samples
S0016B, S0977A-E, and S0985A-C).
Drywall joint compound present on wall and ceiling finishes throughout the assessed area does not
contain asbestos (samples S0018, S0034, S0036, S0149, and S0980A-E).
Vinyl sheet flooring present in the Hallway and the Pharmacy (Loc. 186 and 220) was previously identified
as non-asbestos.
Vinyl floor tiles, white with blue flecks, present throughout the Sleep Lab and Patient Rooms (Loc. 113-
119) does not contain asbestos (samples S0982A-C).
Cove base and associated adhesive present throughout the assessed area is composed of rubber, and
peel and stick glue and is therefore presumed non-asbestos.
4.1.9 Firestopping
Firestopping (mastic) present at a conduit penetration in Patient Room (Loc. 115) does not contain
asbestos (sample S0981, only one sample collected as it is a limited application).
Bell and spigot fittings on cast iron pipes in the Pharmacy (Loc. 220) are presumed to have asbestos-
containing packing / gaskets.
Pipe thread sealant present on sprinkler pipe fittings throughout the assessed area does not contain
asbestos (samples S0978A-C).
Black mastic on concrete behind plaster wall finishes is presumed to be asbestos-containing until
sampling and analysis proves otherwise.
The following is a list of materials which may contain asbestos and was excluded from the assessment.
These materials are presumed to contain asbestos until otherwise proven by sampling and analysis:
• Electrical components
4.2 Lead
Refer to the lab report in Appendix II-B and the Hazardous Material Summary / Sample Log in Appendix
V for details on paints sampled and their locations.
The following table summarizes the analytical results for paints sampled within the assessed area that are
considered elevated, i.e., above 0.009% (90 mg/kg).
Various paints present within the Pharmacy (Loc. 220) were previously identified as lead-containing.
However, the scope of work only includes a portion of the Pharmacy ceiling plenum, these materials are
not anticipated to be impacted by the planned renovations and are not included in the paint summary
above.
The federal Surface Coating Materials Regulations restricts lead in paint and surface coatings to 0.009%.
WorkSafe BC health and safety regulations do not numerically define what would be considered a lead-
containing paint or coating. In general, paints containing lead >0.009% may require work procedures if
disturbed. In order to determine which controls and personal protective equipment is required for a
particular operation, any disturbance of paint will require a risk assessment conducted by a qualified
person.
Lead caulking is present in bell and spigot fittings on cast iron pipes in the Pharmacy (Loc. 220).
Lead is known to be present in several materials which were not assessed or sampled. The following
materials, where found, should be presumed to contain lead.
4.3 Silica
Crystalline silica is assumed to be a component of the following materials where present in the building.
• Concrete
• Plaster
• Drywall
• Ceiling tiles
4.4 Mercury
4.4.1 Lamps
Confirmed by visual observations (e.g., evidence of T-8 fixtures with electronic ballasts) the fixtures will
not contain PCB ballasts.
PCBs are known to be present in several materials and equipment which were not assessed or sampled.
The following materials, where found, should be presumed to contain PCBs until sampling proves
otherwise.
Visible mould growth and water damage was not found during the assessment.
5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 General
2. If suspected hazardous building materials are discovered during the planned work, which
are not identified in this report, do not disturb, and arrange for further testing and
evaluation.
3. Provide this report and the detailed plans and specifications to the contractor prior to
bidding or commencing work.
4. Retain a qualified consultant to specify, observe and document the successful removal of
hazardous materials.
5. Update the asbestos inventory upon completion of the abatement and removal of
asbestos-containing materials and any other relevant findings.
The following recommendations are made regarding renovation involving the hazardous materials
identified.
5.2.1 Asbestos
Remove asbestos-containing materials (ACM) prior to renovation, alteration, or maintenance if ACM may
be disturbed by the work. If the identified ACM will not be removed prior to commencement of the work,
any potential disturbance of ACM must follow asbestos precautions appropriate for the type of work being
performed. Project specific work procedures, engineering controls and personal protective equipment
(risk level) will need to be assessed and developed as per B.C. Reg. 296/97.
5.2.2 Lead
Construction disturbance of lead in paint may result in exposure to lead dust or fumes and safe work
procedures are required. Project specific work procedures, engineering controls and personal protective
equipment (risk level) will need to be assessed and developed as per B.C. Reg. 296/97.
Items painted with paints containing elevated levels of lead may be a hazardous waste. Test lead-painted
materials for leachable lead and other metals prior to disposal.
5.2.3 Silica
5.2.4 Mercury
Do not break lamps. Recycle and reclaim mercury from fluorescent lamps when taken out of service.
Mercury is classified as a hazardous waste and must be disposed of in accordance with applicable
regulations.
This work was performed subject to the Terms and Limitations presented or referenced in the proposal for
this project.

Disclaimer: Unless otherwise noted blank sample correction was not performed on analytical results. Scientific Analytical Institute participates in the AIHA ELPAT program. ELPAT Laboratory ID: 173190. This report relates only
to the samples tested and may not be reproduced, except in full, without the written approval of SAI. Analytical uncertainty available upon request. The quality control samples run with the samples in this report have passed all EPA
required specifications unless otherwise noted. RL: (Report Limit for an undiluted 50ml sample is 4µg Total Pb).
1.0 GENERAL
An inspection was conducted to identify the type of Hazardous Building Materials incorporated in the
structure and its finishes.
Information regarding the location and condition of hazardous building materials encountered and visually
estimated quantities were recorded. The locations of any samples collected were recorded on small-scale
plans. As-built drawings and previous reports were referenced where provided.
Sample collection was conducted in accordance with our Standard Operating Procedures.
1.1 Asbestos
The inspection for asbestos included 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.
A separate set of samples was 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 were determined by visual examination and available information
on the phases of construction and prior renovations.
Samples were collected at a rate that is in compliance with the requirements of local regulations and
guidelines. The sampling strategy was 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 were visually identified without sample confirmation.
The analysis was performed in accordance with Test Method EPA/600/R-93/116: Method for the
Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials, July 1993.
BC 0.5%1 0.5%
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
1
Or any amount if vermiculite
regulation. Additionally, these terms are used for materials which historically are known to not include
asbestos in their manufacturing.
Asbestos materials were evaluated in order to make recommendations regarding any remedial work. The
priority for remedial action was based on several factors:
• 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).
1.2 Lead
Samples of distinctive paint finishes, and surface coatings present in more than a limited application,
where removal of the paint is possible was collected. The samples were collected by scraping the painted
finish to include base and covering applications.
Analysis for lead in paints or surface coatings was performed in accordance with EPA Method No.
3050B/Method No. 7420; flame atomic absorption.
BC None None
Federal 0.009 90
* If there is a conflict between federal and provincial criteria, the more stringent will apply.
Other lead building products (e.g. batteries, lead sheeting, flashing) were identified by visual observation
only.
1.3 Silica
Building materials known to contain crystalline silica (e.g. concrete, cement, tile, brick, masonry, mortar)
were identified by visual inspection only. Pinchin did not perform sampling of these materials for
laboratory analysis of crystalline silica content.
1.4 Mercury
Building materials, products or equipment (e.g. thermostats, barometers, pressure gauges, lamp tubes),
suspected to contain mercury was identified by visually inspection only. Dismantling of equipment
suspected of containing mercury was not performed. Sampling of these materials for laboratory analysis
of mercury content was not performed.
The potential for light ballast and oil filled transformers to contain PCBs was 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 was compared to known ban dates of PCBs and Environment
Canada publications.
Dry type transformers were presumed to be free of dielectric fluids and hence non-PCB.
Fluids (mineral oil, hydraulic, Aroclor or Askarel) in transformers or other equipment were not sampled for
PCB content.
The presence of mould or water damage was determined by visual inspection of exposed building
surfaces. If any mould growth or water damage was concealed within building cavities it was not
addressed in this assessment.

Colour Coding
The material is known to contain regulated concentrations of asbestos; either by
analytical results or visible identification (use of the V9000 code).
The material is presumed to contain asbestos; based on visual appearances; typically a
material known to historically contain asbestos; however, not sampled due to limited
access or the destructive nature of the sampling.
