Class B mishaps involve reportable damage in which range?

• A. $600,000 to $2,500,000
• B. $2,500,000 or more
• C. Less than $60,000
• D. $25,000 to $60,000

Answer: (A)

This question tests how mishaps are categorized by the level of damage. The classification system uses specific monetary thresholds to separate levels of severity, guiding reporting and the depth of investigation. The middle category, which represents substantial but not catastrophic damage, is defined in this material as damage ranging from six hundred thousand dollars up to two million five hundred thousand dollars. That puts it squarely between minor damage and the most severe category, making it the best description of a Class B mishap. Damages below this range are associated with less severe classifications, while damages at or above the upper limit would typically be classified as the more severe category and trigger a broader investigation.
