• wallcovering, electrical trim work, minor plumbing, and activities which do not generate dust or require cutting of walls or access to ceilings other than for visual inspection.

TYPE B

Small scale, short duration activities which create minimal dust Includes, but is not limited to:

• installation of telephone and computer cabling

• access to chase spaces

• cutting of walls or ceiling where dust migration can be controlled.

TYPE C

Work that generates a moderate to high level of dust or requires demolition or removal of any fixed building components or assemblies Includes, but is not limited to:

• sanding of walls for painting or wall covering

• removal of floorcoverings, ceiling tiles and casework

• new wall construction

• minor duct work or electrical work above ceilings

• major cabling activities

• any activity which cannot be completed within a single work shift.

TYPE D

Major demolition and construction projects Includes, but is not limited to:

• activities which require consecutive work shifts

• requires heavy demolition or removal of a complete cabling system

• new construction.
