## What Is Class Code 3030?

Class code 3030 covers welding operations not otherwise classified. This applies to welding shops and contractors who perform general welding services not covered by more specific welding codes. Work involves MIG, TIG, stick, and other welding processes on various metals. Hazards include welding fume exposure (including hexavalent chromium from stainless steel welding), UV radiation burns, fire hazards, and electrical shock.

## Who Does Class Code 3030 Apply To?

Welders, welding machine operators, and welding helpers.

## Florida Examples — Class Code 3030

This class code applies to independent welding contractors in Florida who perform a variety of custom metal fabrication and repair jobs for different industries, or small to medium-sized welding shops in areas like Orlando or Jacksonville that offer general welding services to the public and local businesses. It also covers mobile welding services that travel to client sites for on-demand repairs of machinery, gates, or structural components.

## How to Calculate Workers' Comp Premium for Class Code 3030

**Formula:** (Annual Payroll ÷ 100) × $3.10 × Experience Modification Rate (EMR)

| Annual Payroll | EMR 0.80 | EMR 1.00 | EMR 1.20 |
|---|---|---|---|
| $100,000 | $2480 | $3100 | $3720 |
| $250,000 | $6200 | $7750 | $9300 |
| $500,000 | $12400 | $15500 | $18600 |
| $1,000,000 | $24800 | $31000 | $37200 |

## Tips for Managing Class Code 3030 Workers' Comp Costs

- Welding fume ventilation is the top health priority — local exhaust ventilation is preferred
- Stainless steel welding produces hexavalent chromium fumes — medical surveillance may be required
- Fire watch procedures must be followed when welding near combustible materials
- Separate specific welding operations under more specific codes when applicable

## Safety Recommendations for Class Code 3030

- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including welding helmets with proper shade filters, flame-resistant clothing, welding gloves, and safety glasses, to prevent burns and eye injuries.
- Ensure proper ventilation in welding areas to prevent inhalation of hazardous fumes and gases, and use respirators when necessary.
- Implement safe lifting techniques and use mechanical aids or team lifts for heavy materials to prevent musculoskeletal injuries.
- Regularly inspect welding equipment, cables, and connections for damage to prevent electrical hazards and equipment malfunctions.
