Class code 5022 covers masonry work not otherwise classified, including bricklaying, block laying, stone masonry, and related work.

In Florida, masonry is widely used in commercial and residential construction due to its hurricane resistance. Hazards include falls from scaffolding, back injuries from heavy lifting, silica dust from cutting masonry units, and chemical burns from mortar.
