    Not any defect, but defect in production.
    Examples:
    Это брак! - you say it when showing a watch with a broken arrow (which was sold like that).
    В последнее время этот завод делает много брака.
    Если вы обнаружите производственный брак, обращайтесь к нам по телефону N.
    (Note that "производственный брак" is a common set expression).
    The adjective is "бракованный":
    бракованные часы, бракованная машина, бракованная мебель... anything which was produced with defects.

    BTW, the original sentence does not look right. Это работа брак is badly worded. Should be: Эта работа - брак.
