PERMANENT RULES
LABOR AND INDUSTRIES
Date of Adoption: July 1, 2000.
Purpose: Agency proposes to revise general reporting rules, classification plan and experience rating rules applicable to chapter 296-17 WAC for workers' compensation insurance, underwritten by the Department of Labor and Industries. Specifically, to amend three general reporting rules, establish one new risk classification description rule, amend forty-one risk classification definitions, and amend three experience rating rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending chapter 296-17 WAC.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 51.16.035, 51.04.020.
Adopted under notice filed as WSR 00-07-138 on March 22, 2000.
Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: Three rules reflect nonsubstantial variances between the proposed rules and the final rules to be adopted. Those variances occur in the following rules:
WAC 296-17-31021 Units of exposure, subsection (2) second bullet reads (in part): "Baseball, basketball, and soccer teams - including players, coaches, trainers, and officials." Add as defined in WAC 296-19-745 after the word "teams." This additional language does not change the rule's intent; it only clarifies that this rule refers to professional teams (which is also currently specified in WAC 296-17-745).
The proposed language under the tenth bullet reads (in
part): "Salaried employees: You must select one of the
following methods to report your salaried employees - outside."
Remove the word ((outside)). This was a typographical error;
removing it will not change the intent of the proposal.
WAC 296-17-537 Classification 1102 (Interstate and
Intrastate Trucking) Classifications, 1102-02 Interstate
trucking, 1102-03 Intrastate trucking, 1102-04 Combined
interstate/intrastate trucking. As a result of public comments
received, in each of these classification descriptions remove the
following sentence from the proposed language in the special
note: ((Trucking establishments are allowed to have both the
trucking classification 1102 and the permanent yard and shop
operation classification 5206 provided the conditions in WAC 296-17-675 have been met. Hours cannot be split for a worker who
works in both classes. If an employee has any driving duties,
all their hours are to be reported in classification 1102.))
Remove the word ((also)) in the fourth sentence in that special
note. Removal of this proposed language should prevent conflict
and does not change the initial intent. The language in the new
classification 5206-80 allows this alternative reporting.
WAC 296-17-544 Classification 1404-12 Cabulance and paratransit. In response to oral testimony at the public hearing by business owners in the paratransit industry, and in consideration that some have entered into contracts to provide paratransit services based, in part, on the industrial insurance rates they currently pay, we will add this statement to this rule: For purposes of this subclassification, paratransit businesses reporting under classification 1405-00 are not required to report in the subclassification until January 1, 2001.
Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.
Number of Sections Adopted at Request of a Nongovernmental Entity: New 0, Amended 11, Repealed 0.
Number of Sections Adopted on the Agency's Own Initiative: New 1, Amended 36, Repealed 0.
Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Clarify, Streamline, or Reform Agency Procedures: New 1, Amended 47, Repealed 0.
Number of Sections Adopted Using Negotiated Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Pilot Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Other Alternative Rule Making: New 1, Amended 47, Repealed 0.
Other Findings Required by Other Provisions of Law as Precondition to Adoption or Effectiveness of Rule: The department finds that delaying the effective date of these rules would impose economic hardship on some employers and workers in Washington state. Therefore, the adoption and earlier effective date of these rules are necessary for the preservation of the public welfare and are made in accordance with RCW 34.05.380 (3)(c). Several amendments in this proposal allow lower-rated classifications in which to pay workers' compensation insurance. Employers and workers share in these costs; therefore, delaying implementation would place additional financial burden on both employers and workers who qualify for lower-rated classifications. Employers pay workers' compensation premiums on a quarterly basis. Since July 1 is the beginning date of the 3rd quarter, delaying implementation would result in more burdensome bookkeeping to compute different rates during the same quarter for those employees whose classification changed.
The rules' effective date of July 1, 2000, will not be a surprise to stakeholders and interested parties because, during the rule development process, insurance services staff have consistently announced the rules' effective date as July 1, 2000. As such, no one will be disadvantaged by the earlier effective date. At the proposal stage the department mailed letters, which included the intended effective date of July 1, 2000, to trade associations and employers of industries affected by rule proposals. The department mails letters to those parties when rules are adopted, which will confirm the effective date of July 1, 2000. Also, as noted in the hearing transcript, July 1, 2000, was announced as the intended effective date.Effective Date of Rule: July 1, 2000.

AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 98-18-042, filed 8/28/98,
effective 10/1/98)
WAC 296-17-31011
Classification system and plan.
(1) What is a workers' compensation classification system?
A workers' compensation classification system is an objective method of collecting money (premiums) to pay the benefits of workers injured on the job. We believe the method used to spread this cost among the employers we insure should be fair and have some relationship to their hazard and potential for loss. Classifications are the tool used to achieve a fair method of distributing the risk among employers we insure. Objective boundaries are established for each classification. These boundaries describe the types of businesses which are included in the classification, as well as the operations and employments routinely encountered. We refer to these objective boundaries as the scope of the classification. Once these boundaries have been defined, we can begin collecting information about the employers assigned to each classification. The information includes the exposure which is being covered (risk) and the losses (claims) which are related to these businesses. Next, we use this information to establish premium rates that employers in each industry will pay for their workers' compensation insurance. Our goal is to produce fair insurance rates which reflect the hazardous nature of each industry. We have tailored our classification system in Washington to reflect industries found in our state. This makes our system responsive to change and provides rate payer equity to the employers we insure. Employers engaged in more hazardous industries such as logging will pay higher insurance rates than employers engaged in less hazardous businesses such as retail store operations.
(2) Why is a classification system needed?
We need a classification system to provide fair premium rates. Washington law (RCW 51.16.035) also requires us to have a classification system.
(3) Is the classification system the same as the classification plan?
No, we refer to the body of rules (WACs) which establish the general parameters of how classifications are to be used as the "classification system." These rules speak to the requirements of workers' compensation insurance and to our general classification approach, such as classifying by nature of business in the state of Washington, not by occupation of worker. The "classification plan" refers to all of the various classification descriptions which describe different types of business or industry. The classification system rules (general rules) will apply to all businesses unless another treatment is specifically provided for in the classification plan rules (special rules).
(4) How is our classification plan designed?
We have designed a plan which is keyed to the nature of the businesses or industries of the employers we insure. Our plan has over three hundred business or industry classifications. Each classification carries a premium rate which reflects the hazards that workers are exposed to. Descriptions of our classifications can be found in WAC 296-17-501 through 296-17-779.
(5) Is your classification approach similar to the approach used by private insurance companies?
Yes, we are required by law (RCW 51.16.035) to use the same classification (underwriting) approach used by private carriers.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035. 98-18-042, § 296-17-31011, filed 8/28/98, effective 10/1/98.]
(1) How are classifications assigned to my business?
We will assign a basic classification or classifications to
your business based on the nature of ((the)) your business ((you
are engaged)) operation(s) in the state of Washington. We will
not assign classifications to your business based on the
individual operations, duties or occupations of individuals found
within your business unless the basic classification assigned to
your business either requires or permits a separate
classification treatment for specified operations or employments.
Exceptions to this approach are outlined in WAC 296-17-31017 and
296-17-31018.
(2) Does this same classification approach apply if I have several businesses?
This classification approach will apply to each separate legal entity. Each separate legal entity will be classified on its own merits.
(3) How do you decide what classification(s) to assign to my business?
To determine what classification(s) to assign to your business, we need enough information to give us a clear understanding of the precise nature of your business and the hazards your business poses to your workers. In some cases we will need to call you to obtain more detailed information about your business. Occasionally one of our field representatives may visit your business to gain a better understanding of the nature of your business. In most cases we will find a classification that specifically describes your business.
Example: You operate a company that sells baked goods to retail customers. Before we can classify your business we need to determine whether you bake the goods you are selling or are simply selling goods another business has baked. Once we have determined the precise nature of your business, we will review all of the available classifications to find the one that best describes the entire business. If the business has baked the products they are selling, we would consider a bakery classification or maybe a restaurant classification. If your business simply sells baked goods that another business made, we may look at a retail store classification. In most cases we will find a classification that specifically describes the business we are classifying.

(1) What is a "unit of exposure?"
A unit of exposure is the measure which is used to help determine the premium you will pay. For most businesses the unit of exposure is the hours worked by their employees. Because not all employees are compensated based on the hours they work, we have developed reporting alternatives to make reporting to us easier. Those alternatives are outlined in subsection (2) of this section. In other cases, the department may authorize some other method in assuming workers hours for premium calculation purposes.
((Example: Employers in the horse racing industry pay their
premiums based on a type of license their employees hold rather
than the hours the employees work. Drywall contractors pay
premiums based on the square footage of the materials they
install rather than the hours it took their employees to install
the drywall material.
In other instances, we have developed daily, weekly, or monthly assumed work hours.
Example: Commission sales employees who work primarily away from your premises, such as a real estate sales person, are to be reported on the basis of eight hours per day or forty hours per week.))
(2) What are the alternatives to actual hours worked?
The exceptions are:
| • | Apartment house managers, caretakers, or similar employees: To determine the number of hours you need to report to us, divide an employee's total compensation, including housing and utility allowances, by the average hourly wage for the classification. The total number of work hours to be reported for each employee is not to exceed 520 hours per quarter. You will need to call us at (360) 902-4817 to obtain average hourly wage information. |
| • | Baseball, basketball, and soccer teams as defined in WAC 296-17-745 - including players, coaches, trainers, and officials: Report each individual at 40 hours per week for each week in which they have duties. |
| • | Commission employees - outside (such as, but not limited to, real estate and insurance sales): You must select one of the following methods to report your commission employees - outside: |
| • | Actual hours worked; or |
| • | Assumed hours of eight hours per day for part-time employees
or (( |
| All outside commission employees of an employer must be
reported by the same method. (( |
|
| • | Drywall - stocking, installation, scrapping, taping, and texturing: Premiums are based on material installed/finished rather than the hours it took to install/finish the drywall. |
| • | Horse racing - excluding jockeys: Employers in the horse
racing industry pay premiums based on a type of license
their employees hold rather than the hours the employees
work. Premiums are (( |
| • | Jockeys: Report ten hours for each race/mount or for any day in which duties are reported. |
| • | Race car drivers: Report ten hours for each race/heat. |
| • | Salaried employees: (( |
| • | Actual hours worked; or |
| • | Assumed hours of one hundred sixty hours per month. |
(3) Can I use assumed work hours for piece workers?
No, if you employ piece workers you must report the actual hours these individuals work for you unless another unit of exposure is required.
Example: If you have employees engaged in drywall work you would report and pay premiums on the basis of the square footage of the material they installed not the hours they worked.

Equipment used will include backhoes and front end loaders, as well as other types of dirt moving equipment.
The methods used for soil remediation ((may)) include, but
are not limited to, ((the following)):
((- Bio-remediation
- Encapsulation
- Excavation and hauling to an approved disposal site
- Hot air vapor extraction
- Soil vapor extraction
- In situ vitrification
- Land farming
- Mobile incineration
- Thermal disabsorption
- Stabilization)) - Bio-remediation: Contaminated soil is mixed with nutrients, sawdust, and various other additives. Naturally occurring bacteria in the soil break down the pollutants.
- Encapsulation: Contaminated soil is enclosed in some type of protective material to prevent drainage into surrounding soil.
- Excavation and hauling to an approved disposal site.
- Hot air vapor extraction: A burner unit is mounted on a trailer. Contaminated soil is arranged in layers on which an aluminum perforated pipe system is placed at 2' intervals, with a return pipe on the top layer. The soil stack is enclosed in visqueen, then hot air is pumped into the piping system which creates the steam that is recycled through the system and carries the contaminants back through the catalytic burner. Because of the catalytic action there are virtually no contaminants exhausted into the atmosphere.
- Soil vapor extraction: A series of holes are bored in the ground and vacuum pumps are used to suck the trapped gases which are drawn through carbon filters for decontamination.
- In situ vitrification: Graphite electrodes are fed into contaminated soil at a specified rate, where high voltage "melts" the organic and inorganic materials in the soil and forms a solid, glasslike substance.
- Land farming: Contaminated soil is deposited and spread out by a farm type spreader on an area of ground dedicated for this purpose. Chemical or manure fertilizer is added to provide a medium for naturally occurring bacteria to thrive. (This part is similar to bio-remediation.) The soil is turned frequently by tillers or rototillers to assist in the aeration of the soil and in the growth of the bacteria. It may take anywhere from a month to two years to cleanse the soil, depending on the volatility of the contaminants. This method is used particularly with soil that is heavily contaminated with oil.
- Mobile incineration: Contaminated soil is loaded onto a conveyor belt which carries it into the hopper of a mobile unit mounted on a lowboy trailer. The unit is heated to burn off the contaminants in the soil. The mobile unit contains a type of dust-collecting mechanism which filters out gases and other nondesirable elements so only clean air enters the atmosphere as the refreshed soil is produced. There are various methods of mobile incineration, but the general process and the end result are similar.
- Thermal disabsorption: A process similar to mobile incineration.
- Stabilization: Concrete landfill cells are created by mixing cement with refuse or other contaminated soil to stabilize the material and reduce the seepage into the surrounding soil.
This classification excludes oil spill cleanup involving diking or ditching work which is to be reported separately in classification 0201.
0101-39 Pool or pond excavation

0510-00 Wood frame building: Construction or alterations, N.O.C.
Applies to contractors engaged in wood frame building construction or alterations not covered by another classification (N.O.C.). For the purposes of this classification, wood frame building construction means buildings erected exclusively of wood or wood products. This classification includes all building framing activities done in connection with wood frame building construction including the placement of roof trusses, sheathing roofs, installation of exterior building siding, and the installation of exterior doors and door frames. This classification also includes the installation of windows, window frames, and skylights when performed by framing workers as part of the framing contract on a wood frame building.
This classification excludes all other phases of wood frame building construction not listed as part of the framing activities above such as, but not limited to, site preparation and excavation (0101); overhead or underground utilities, asphalt work, or concrete work which is to be reported separately in the applicable classification; new landscape work (0301); brick work (0302); stucco work (0303); plumbing work (0306); HVAC work (0307); carpet and tile work (0502); exterior painting (0504); roof work (0507); insulation work (0512); interior finish carpentry - interior doors, cabinets, fixtures or molding (0513); installation of garage doors (0514); installation of sheet metal siding, gutters, and nonstructural sheet metal patio covers/carports (0519); interior painting (0521); electrical work (0601) or wallboard installation, taping or texturing which are to be reported separately in the applicable classifications. For a more thorough description of the activities included and excluded from wood frame building construction, review the Construction Industry Guide.
Special note: Classification 0510 also includes wood frame building alterations or remodel work when the activity involves building new additions. The term "new additions" is defined as adding on to an existing wood frame building (upwards or outwards) in which the use of structural supports and main bearing beams is required. This is distinguishable from classification 0516 - building repair or carpentry work that typically does not require the placement of structural supports or main bearing beams. The purpose of classification 0516 is to build or rebuild with nonstructural or bearing beams, or to replace an existing portion (including existing structural and bearing beams) of a wood frame building for appearances or as a result of deterioration to make it appear new again. Care should be exercised as the terminology to build, rebuild, remodel, construct or reconstruct is irrelevant to assignment of classification which should recognize what the project actually involves.

The basis of the
experience modification shall be a comparison of the actual
losses charged to an employer during the experience period with
the losses which would be expected for an average employer
reporting the same exposures in each classification. The
comparison shall contain actuarial refinements designed to
mitigate the effects of losses which may be considered
catastrophic or of doubtful statistical significance, due
consideration being given to the volume of the employer's
experience. Except for those employers who qualify for an
adjusted experience modification as specified in WAC 296-17-860
or 296-17-865, the experience modification shall be calculated
from the formula:
MODIFICATION |
= |
Ap+ WAe+ (1-W) Ee+ B |
| E+ B |
"Ap" signifies "primary actual losses." For each claim the
primary actual loss is defined as that portion of the claim which
is considered completely rateable for all employers and which is
to enter the experience modification calculation at its full
value. For each claim in excess of (($10,072)) $10,504 the
primary actual loss shall be determined from the formula:
| PRIMARY LOSS | = | 26,260 | x total loss |
| Total loss + 15,756 |
"Ae" signifies "excess actual losses." For each claim the excess actual loss is defined as that portion of the claim which is not considered completely rateable for all employers. The excess actual loss for each claim shall be determined by subtracting the primary loss from the total loss.
"W" signifies "W value." For each employer, the W value determines the portion of the actual excess losses which shall be included in the calculation of his experience modification, due consideration being given to the volume of his experience. This amount is represented by the symbol "WAe" in the experience modification formula. W values are set forth in Table II.
"E" signifies "expected losses." An employer's expected losses shall be determined by multiplying his reported exposure in each classification during the experience period by the classification expected loss rate. Expected loss rates are set forth in Table III.
"Ee" signifies "expected excess losses." Expected losses in each classification shall be multiplied by the classification "D-Ratio" to obtain "expected primary losses." Expected excess losses shall then be calculated by subtracting expected primary losses from expected total losses. Each employer shall have a statistical charge included in the calculation of his experience modification, said charge to be actuarially equivalent to the amount forgiven an average employer because of the exclusion of a portion of his excess actual losses. This charge is represented by "(1-W) Ee" in the experience modification formula. D-Ratios are set forth in Table III.
"B" signifies "B value" or "ballast." In order to limit the effect of a single severe accident on the modification of a small employer, a stabilizing element (B value) shall be added to both actual and expected losses. B values are set forth in Table II.
