Answer to Question 1

Class I work is the most hazardous and involves the removal of thermal system asbestos that has been sprayed or troweled on.
Class II work involves the removal of non-thermal system asbestos.
Class III work consists of maintenance and repair tasks in situations where asbestos may be disturbed.
Class IV work consists of janitorial tasks in which asbestos containing waste is cleaned up.

Answer to Question 2

Pneumatic tools that operate at pressures in excess of 100 pounds per square inch and that shoot fasteners (nails, staples, etc.) must be equipped with a special protective device to prevent the ejection of fasteners when the muzzle of the tool is anywhere except pressed against the work surface.
