Foundry work is physically demanding and involves significant hazards including burns from molten metal, heat stress, silica dust from sand molds, heavy lifting, and noise.

## Who Does Class Code 1430 Apply To?

Foundry workers, molders, coremakers, pourers, shakeout workers, grinders, and maintenance employees.

## Florida Examples — Class Code 1430

A gray iron foundry in Jacksonville, Florida, with 75 employees producing automotive components and industrial castings. A smaller ductile iron foundry in Central Florida with 30 workers specializing in municipal castings.
