Glove bags are used for which type of work?

• A. Large-scale, long-duration work.
• B. Medium-scale, moderate-duration work.
• C. For general cleaning tasks.
• D. Small scale, short duration work.

Answer: (D)

Glove bags are designed for small-scale, short-duration work. They provide a portable, self-contained enclosure around a small section of pipe or similar work area, with built-in gloves so you can remove and handle asbestos-containing material without exposing the wider environment. This setup minimizes dust generation and simplifies waste disposal, making it ideal for brief, targeted tasks like removing a short length of insulation. For larger projects or longer durations, a bigger containment setup with more robust controls is needed, so glove bags aren’t practical in those cases. They’re not intended for general cleaning tasks.
