Class 2 work is defined as what?

Class 2 work is defined as what?

• A. A small job involving TSI
• B. A large job where the removal of ACM that is nonfriable and not TSI or surfacing material, with no size limit, determined by material type
• C. Work around custodial tasks
• D. Custodial cleaning around nonfriable ACM

Answer: (B)

Class 2 work refers to removing asbestos-containing materials that are nonfriable and are not used as thermal system insulation (TSI) or as surfacing material, with no size limit—it's defined by the type of material being removed rather than by the amount. In practice, this covers situations like removing asbestos-containing floor tiles, asbestos-cement products, or other nonfriable ACM where the asbestos isn’t bound in a way that easily crumbles. Because the material is nonfriable, the level of control is less than for friable asbestos (which is Class I), but still requires proper containment, procedures, and protections during removal. This distinguishes it from custodial or maintenance tasks (Class IV) and from repair work where ACM is not removed.
