Industry Code: 30403
This industry generally covers shop operations to clean, resurface and coat various metal or porcelain products NOT SPECIFIED ELSEWHERE. The purpose is to provide a protective resistance against corrosive elements. The items cleaned and coated by this process vary in size and can weigh from one ounce to one ton. A partial list of items include oilfield equipment such as sleeves, collars, valves, shafts and automotive parts or accessories (other than bumpers), milk and bread carriers, and some construction equipment.
Operation Details:
The cleaning process involves pressure washing metal product and lowering it into dip tanks containing chemicals. The dipping will cause a number of reactions including the removal of dirt, grease, and corrosion.
The process of coating of metal products again, involves lowering the product into dip tanks that contain coatings such as epoxy, resin, or paint.
Electroplating metal products involves similar procedures, although the coatings used are electrically charged plating solutions. Galvanizing is a process of coating steel with zinc to protect the steel from exposure to weather and other corrosive elements. Surfacing of metals by impregnation is another efficient sealing and coating process. Custom powder coating is included in this industry.
Depending on the size of the product to be cleaned and coated, an overhead hoist or crane may be used to pass the product from one process to another.
Underwriting Considerations:
Industry 30407, Cleaning/Coating of Pipe is intended specifically for those operations that apply coatings or insulation on various lengths of pipe. Most often this is a plastic-type coating.
Industry 65809, Repair and Electroplating of Automotive Parts is intended specifically for those operations who specialize in decorative electroplating of automotive parts.
Resurfacing of metal products may be conducted as part of an overall machining operation to rebuild certain components prior to machining the part to specification.
Industry Custom Pricing: Waiving Cost Relief Option
This industry has chosen to participate in Industry Custom Pricing effective January 1, 2010. Costs related to the aggravation of a pre-existing condition will not be removed from the experience record of employers classified in this industry. In return, the portion of premiums collected to fund retroactive cost relief has been removed from the industry rate, resulting in a reduction in WCB premium rates for the industry.
