A class B activity

A class B activity refers to a type of hazardous activity identified by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other regulatory authorities. Class B activities involve potential exposure to harmful substances or situations that could cause moderate injury or illness. Examples of class B activities include handling materials that may emit toxic or harmful gases, working with equipment that generates excessive heat or flames, or exposure to hazardous chemicals.

It is important for employers and employees to be aware of class B activities to take appropriate safety precautions and use the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent or minimize potential risks and injuries. Training and awareness programs are often conducted to educate individuals about the hazards associated with class B activities and to promote safe work practices.
