Class code 2585 covers meat packing operations, including the slaughter and processing of livestock into meat products. This is one of the higher-risk food processing classifications due to the use of sharp cutting tools, wet and slippery floors, cold temperatures, and the physical demands of the work. Workers face risks from knife cuts, repetitive motion injuries, slips, and cold-related injuries. ## Who Does Class Code 2585 Apply To? Meat cutters, slaughterhouse workers, processing line workers, and packaging employees. ## Florida Examples — Class Code 2585 This class code applies to businesses like a 50-employee meat packing plant in Ocala that processes beef and pork for distribution to grocery stores, or a smaller, family-owned butcher shop in Orlando that handles custom cuts and sausage production. It also covers large-scale poultry processing facilities found in rural Florida, preparing chicken for regional and national markets. ## How to Calculate Workers' Comp Premium for Class Code 2585 **Formula:** (Annual Payroll ÷ 100) × $4.40 × Experience Modification Rate (EMR) | Annual Payroll | EMR 0.80 | EMR 1.00 | EMR 1.20 | |---|---|---|---| | $100,000 | $3520 | $4400 | $5280 | | $250,000 | $8800 | $11000 | $13200 | | $500,000 | $17600 | $22000 | $26400 | | $1,000,000 | $35200 | $44000 | $52800 | ## Tips for Managing Class Code 2585 Workers' Comp Costs - Cut-resistant gloves and chain mail are essential PPE for knife-using workers - Slip-and-fall prevention on wet, bloody floors is a major claims driver - Ergonomic programs reduce repetitive motion injuries in processing line work - Cold temperature exposure requires appropriate PPE ## Safety Recommendations for Class Code 2585 - Implement and strictly enforce lockout/tagout procedures for all processing machinery during maintenance and cleaning to prevent accidental startups. - Provide and mandate the use of cut-resistant gloves, aprons, and slip-resistant footwear for all employees working with knives or in wet environments. - Utilize ergonomic lifting aids and encourage proper lifting techniques to reduce the risk of back injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. - Regularly clean and sanitize work areas to maintain dry, slip-free floors and prevent the spread of pathogens. ## Get a Quote for Class Code 2585 Contact Bright Coast Insurance for a workers' comp quote for class code 2585 in SC: - **Phone:** (239) 323-0785 - **Email:** support@brightcoastins.com - **Online:** [Workers' Comp Calculator](https://brightcoastins.com/comp-calculator) - **Class Code Lookup:** [https://brightcoastins.com/workers-comp-codes/sc](https://brightcoastins.com/workers-comp-codes/sc) --- ## About Bright Coast Insurance Bright Coast Insurance is a Florida-licensed independent insurance agency (Florida License #L132181) specializing in commercial insurance for Florida contractors, builders, property owners, and HOA/condo associations.
