What is Class Code 9019?

Class code 9019 covers hotel or motel employees including housekeeping staff, front desk clerks, bellhops, maintenance workers, and food service staff at lodging facilities. Florida's massive tourism industry makes this one of the most common classifications in the state, particularly in Miami Beach, Orlando, Tampa Bay, and the Keys. Hazards include musculoskeletal injuries from housekeeping, slip-and-fall incidents, and kitchen burns.

Who is Covered Under This Code?

Hotel and motel housekeeping staff, front desk clerks, bellhops, maintenance workers, concierge staff, and food service employees.

Tips to Reduce Your Premium

• Housekeeping ergonomic programs (proper cart height, lifting techniques) significantly reduce back injury claims
• Slip-and-fall prevention in wet areas (pools, kitchens, bathrooms) is critical
• Separate kitchen staff under food service codes if they represent a significant portion of payroll
• Security staff may need to be classified separately depending on duties

Common Claim Scenarios

Back strains from housekeeping and luggage handling, slip-and-fall injuries on wet surfaces, and kitchen burns are the most frequent claim types in Florida hotel operations.
