Which mishap category involves loss of time at work and monetary losses up to $200,000?

• A. Class A mishap
• B. Class B mishap
• C. Class C mishap
• D. Class D mishap

Answer: (C)

Mishap categories are determined by the total cost of the mishap and the severity of injuries or impact on work. Class C covers incidents with costs between $50,000 and $500,000 and that involve nonfatal injuries or illnesses that require medical treatment beyond first aid or cause days away from work. In this case, there is a loss of time at work, meaning there are days away from work, and the monetary losses are up to $200,000. That falls within the Class C monetary range and includes the work-time impact, so this incident fits Class C. If costs exceeded $500,000 or there were fatalities or permanent disabilities, it would move into higher categories; if costs were under $50,000 and there were no days away from work, it would be Class D.
