Class code 5059 covers iron and steel structure erection for structures under two stories. This classification applies to smaller structural steel projects such as single-story commercial buildings, warehouses, and industrial buildings. While the fall hazard is reduced compared to taller structures, significant risks remain from steel handling, crane operations, and working at heights.

## Who Does Class Code 5059 Apply To?

Ironworkers, connectors, and crane operators on low-rise structural steel projects.

## Florida Examples — Class Code 5059

A structural steel company in Orlando erecting the framework for a new two-story retail center. A small fabrication shop in Miami installing steel beams for a single-story warehouse expansion.

## How to Calculate Workers' Comp Premium for Class Code 5059
