Code Description

Ship Building - Iron or Steel - U.S. Act

Ship building - iron or steel - U.S. Act, covers workers engaged in the construction of vessels with iron or steel hulls, such as ships, barges, and tankers, in U.S. shipyards. This class carries a higher risk profile due to the physically demanding nature of the work, potential for accidents and injuries, and the requirement for specialized equipment and training. Pay-as-you-go PEO workers comp is a natural fit for this class, as it allows businesses to manage their workers comp costs more accurately and avoid large upfront premium payments, which can be a significant burden for shipbuilding companies with fluctuating workloads.
