The upper bound of monetary loss for Class C mishaps is what amount?

• A. $50,000
• B. $100,000
• C. $200,000
• D. $500,000

Answer: (C)

Monetary loss thresholds determine how a mishap is categorized, which then guides the level of investigation and response. Class C covers losses that do not exceed the limit that would push it into a higher category, with the upper bound set at two hundred thousand dollars. So any damage up to that amount remains Class C, while costs at or above the threshold move the mishap into the next class. For example, a damage estimate around two hundred thousand dollars stays within Class C, whereas just over that amount would trigger a higher category. Therefore, the maximum loss for Class C is two hundred thousand dollars.
