Note: draft template protocols are to be developed with the appointed Contractor and agreed with the CA/SCC before commencement;\n4.\tTo provide recommendations to SCC for the management and control of the risk from ACMs; e.g.  the recommendation should be \u0027remove if works affect\u0027 in accordance with the SCC strategic management plan.\n5.\tTo provide adequate information on the presence of ACMs and the associated risks to health for use by SCC in communications with its occupiers, residents, site managers, contractors\u0027 operatives and where applicable, Direct Labour Organisation (DLO) operatives. \n6.\tIn accordance with HSG 264, to provide a survey report and materials register with overall combined (material and priority) risk assessment in electronic (pdf) format, complete with easy to reference locations for all ACMs found, presumed or materials positively confirmed as asbestos free.\n7.\tTo provide a plan showing the location of any ACMs (or presumed ACMs) for each property, or communal area surveyed, including sampling locations and room descriptions. New \u0027schematic\u0027 (not to scale) plans are to be prepared by the Contractor and appended to each asbestos survey report. These plans must also include areas not surveyed to ensure ease of orientation / future survey. When ACMs are subsequently removed (within Communal Areas, Corporate and Commercial assets), this is to be clearly indicated upon re-inspection, the updated survey plan as part of the survey report/register update procedure undertaken by the Contractor;\n8.\tTo provide 2 photographs, at varying distances, to clearly show the sample location of any suspect ACMs found (confirmed/presumed or NADIS).  At least 1 photograph should also be included for any non-accessed room or area.\n9.\tTo carry out survey re-inspections of corporate properties / dwellings / communal areas previously inspected as and where required according to survey programmes and reactive survey requests which will be provided to the Contractor on a daily basis.

If the property concerned does not have a current management survey, this will also be conducted as a part of the \u0027targeted/hybrid refurbishment\u0027 survey.  The Surveying Contractor will be expected to work with SCC and/or their contractors to scope the requirements of the asbestos survey to facilitate the proposed works. On occasion, at the direction of the SCC Asbestos Team, this may involve the identification of similar archetypes to confirm when sufficient consistency of ACMs is identified has been reached (through their surveys) to \"demonstrate as far as reasonably practicable that there is consistency in the range of ACMs in the property type and there is an accurate picture of asbestos presence\" (HSG264). Although \u0027refurbishment elements\u0027, the Contractor is also to provide priority assessment scores for these materials within the survey report;\n12.\tIn conjunction with SCC Asbestos Team, to provide advice on actions required by the Employer to comply with any changes in Regulations, or prevailing HSE guidance throughout the Contract term.
