Two Florida-only Marine Industry Class Codes Approved

The National Council on Compensation Insurance Inc. has received approval for two new Florida-only class codes related to the marine industry effective July 1, 2006. NCCI is the oldest and largest provider of workers’ compensation and employee injury data and statistics in the nation.

LIG Marine Managers of St. Petersburg, Fla. worked with the Florida Marine Contractors Association to lobby and assist NCCI to create the new classification exclusive for marine construction.

The new codes and their initial rates are:

6006F Marine Pile Driving, Dock & Seawall, Jetty or Breakwater, Dike or Revetment Construction – All Operations to Completion & Drivers – $28.79

6004 Land Pile Driving – $38.24

Also effective July 1st 2006, two codes will be discontinued in Florida, 6003 Pile Driving and 6005 Jetty or Breakwater Construction.
