Workers' Compensation Class Codes Related to Plumbing

Employees are grouped into classification codes based on what they do for their job. The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) currently utilizes nearly 800 class codes to help insurance companies categorize employees. Insurance companies create a manual rate for each class code in order to price a policy.

Properly classifying workers is an important part of the quote process. Mis-classified employers may end up paying too much for coverage or owing too much after an audit.

Class Code 5183 | Plumbing- All Employees

Businesses primarily engaged in providing the connections and disconnection of pipes related to water, gas or steam. Work may be performed in a residential home or commercial facility. Services often include the installation and repair of faucets, toilets. sinks and equipment such as hot water heaters, refrigerator water lines and hot water heaters. Pipe fitting is included under this class code and does contemplate the installation of tubing for refrigeration units and other related fixtures and appliances.

The installation of underground lawn sprinkler systems are included under the general plumbing class code. All sizes of pipe fitting and related fixtures are included under this class code. However, automatic fire sprinkler installation typically falls under class code 5188- Automatic Sprinkler Installation, in most states.

Alternative State Class Codes for Plumbing:

Many states often use special class codes, other than the class codes recommended by NCCI, for certain industries.

Class Code State
663 | Plumbing Contractors Delaware / Pennsylvania
5184 | Boiler and Steam Pipe New York / New Jersey / California

Synonyms: plumbing, plumbers, boiler and pipe insulation, pump installation, pipe fitting, sewer cleaning, roto rooter insurance, lawn sprinkler install

What Does Workers' Comp Cover?

What does workers comp cover?

Workers' comp coverage protects employees when injured. It makes good financial sense for both parties.

Injuries and accidents happen. A workers' comp policy is a no-fault system that pays for these accidents and claims. It's required by law in most states.
  • Loss of income for employees unable to perform job duties
  • Medical expenses for employees injured on the job
  • Retraining expenses for employees unable to return
  • Permanent injury or disability for lasting injuries
  • Survivor benefits if employees are killed on the job

Coverage does not protect employers from everything. Sometimes employees and employers can be negligent.

Workmans comp does not cover negligence
In some instances, workers' compensation coverage will not protect employers or employees from the legal liability resulting from a workplace injury.
  • Injuries resulting from a violation of the law
  • Incidents resulting from employees' use fo drugs or alcohol
  • Injuries that did not occur in connection with the job
  • Clear company policy violations
  • Injuries that did not occur in connection with the job
