  "definition": "A single-use containment system, typically a sealed polyethylene bag with integrated gloves, used for the safe removal of asbestos-containing materials from pipes and other small components.

This engineering control is a standard risk management practice in asbestos abatement projects regulated under OSHA and EPA standards.",
