Applies to contractors engaged in building repair,
remodeling and carpentry work((, not covered by another
classification (N.O.C.))).
This classification applies to:
• Remodeling and carpentry-related framing work on
concrete, brick and steel buildings((, and to)).
• Wood framed building renovation and remodeling projects
((where the structure)) when the skeleton framework is not
being modified or altered.
Typical projects include, but are not limited to:
• Interior building demolition ("strip outs") involving only the removal of interior walls, partitions, interior trim, cabinetry, doors, flooring and related construction materials;
• Converting a room from one use to another, such as a bedroom to a study, or a garage to a family room;

metal fasteners (nails, screws and bolts), and metal
reinforcing or support straps such as joist hangers and post
brackets. ((Technological changes have produced new materials
which are replacing wood and wood products. These materials
include, but are not limited to, light weight metal studs and
plastic and fiber reinforced boards.))
This classification includes ((the framing of private
residences with light weight metal studs and the installation
of earthquake tie downs on residential buildings. This
classification also includes specialty service providers or
contractors engaged in providing general repair services
(handyman) on buildings and dwellings. Classification 0516-00
can be used for these businesses to simplify recordkeeping and
reporting if they provide general carpentry work and at least
two of the following types of repair work; electrical,
plumbing, cabinet, interior alteration, painting, drywall,

Classification 1109.
1109-00 Automobile or truck towing services, N.O.C.
Applies to establishments engaged in providing towing
services for hire to others which are not covered by another
classification (N.O.C.). ((Operations contemplated by this
classification are limited to tow truck drivers and their
assistants who are engaged in towing services for hire.)) For
purposes of this classification "towing services for hire"
means, but is not limited to, the towing of disabled vehicles
to a shop (that is unrelated to the towing service) for
repair((;)), the recovery of repossessed vehicles for others
by tow truck((;)), roadside assistance during snow, ice or
flooding to recover or free stuck vehicles((;)), and the
towing in of disabled vehicles to a secured yard for insurance
or law enforcement agencies. It is common for towing
companies to also operate a vehicle repair garage or service
center in conjunction with the towing service. Auto service
centers and repair garages, auto body shops and wrecking yard
operations are to be reported separately in the applicable
service or repair classification provided that the conditions
of the general reporting rules covering ((the operation of a
secondary business and)) the division of worker hours have
been met. Tow truck dispatchers who have no other duties may
be reported separately in classification 4904 provided that
the conditions of the standard exception general reporting
rules have been met.
Special note: Towing is common to many classifications. Employers offering towing services should be contacted to verify whether the towing service they provide is only in connection with their auto repair, auto body or wrecking yard (towing service not for hire), or provided as a general service unrelated to their repair garage (towing services for hire). Only towing services for hire are to be assigned to classification 1109. If a business provides both towing services for hire and not for hire, worker hours for drivers and their assistants may be divided between this classification and the applicable repair garage classification provided that the conditions of the general reporting rule covering the division of worker hours has been met. Otherwise, all driver and assistant hours are to be assigned to the highest rated classification applicable to the business.

Classification 4002.
4002-00 Dairy products, N.O.C.: Manufacturing
To be assigned only by classification services staff
Applies to establishments engaged in the manufacture of dairy products not covered by another classification (N.O.C.) such as, but not limited to, whole, low fat, skim, powdered, flavored and condensed milk, buttermilk, cream, half-and-half, and eggnog. Raw milk may be purchased from others or furnished by the manufacturer's own dairy operation. Other ingredients usually purchased elsewhere include, but are not limited to, flavorings, sweeteners, nutrients, bacteria and yogurt cultures, and paper, glass or plastic containers for packaging finished products. Raw milk is delivered by insulated tanker trucks after it is tested for antibiotics, bacteria and microorganism counts, temperature, and fat content. The raw milk is pumped from the trucks into refrigerated silos or tanks; the cream is skimmed from the top and pumped into separate storage tanks for further blending to ensure the correct fat and nutrient content. The remaining milk may be evaporated, homogenized, pasteurized, cooled, tested for quality, and further processed into various milk products which are filled into gallons, half gallons, quarts, pints and half-pint containers and packaged for shipping. This classification includes the incidental manufacture of butter, ice cream, or cheese products when done by employees of an employer subject to this classification.
This classification excludes establishments primarily engaged in the manufacture of butter, cheese, ice cream and ice cream mixes which are to be reported separately in classification 4002-01 and dairy farming operations which are to be reported separately in classification 7301.
4002-01 Butter, cheese, ice cream and ice cream mix:
Manufacturing
To be assigned only by classification services staff
Applies to establishments engaged in the manufacture of dairy products such as, but not limited to, butter, natural or processed cheeses, cottage cheese, cheese dips or spreads, custards, whipped topping, ice cream, milkshake or ice cream mixes, ice milk, sherbet. Raw milk may be purchased from others or furnished by the manufacturer's own dairy operation. Other raw materials usually purchased elsewhere include, but are not limited to, flavoring, coloring agents, salts, additives and preservatives, plastic or oiled wrappings, and paper, glass or plastic containers for packaging finished product. Raw milk is delivered by insulated tanker trucks and pumped from the trucks into refrigerated silos or tanks. Initial processes are similar for products manufactured in this classification, but end processes vary, depending on the product being made. To make cheese, raw milk is heat treated and pasteurized, cooled, moved through separators which adjust fat composition by skimming the milk or adding cream, then pumped into vessels or cheese vats. Lactic acid and enzymes are added to purify and clot the milk and form a gel which is cut into tiny cubes. Other additives, preservatives, or flavorings may be added at this point. The mixture of curds and whey (the liquid by-product lost from curds after cutting) is heated by allowing steam to enter the outer jacket of the vat. The mixture is stirred, whey is drained from curds and transported to evaporators and spray dryers which condense the whey into a powder form. Aside from salting, little more is done to curds to make unripened cheeses such as cream cheese or cottage cheese. When making firmer cheeses, the next step involves knitting or stretching the drained curds for texture. This process will vary according to the type of cheese being produced, but activities commonly involve preliminary packing, pressing or pulling of the curds in hot water, or turning curd blocks (called "cheddaring"). The curd blocks are milled (cut into finger-sized pieces) and moved through a trough or air block through tubing to other vats for further processing. In other processes, curds are collected in hoops (metal containers lined with cloth or plastic) and pressed into blocks or molds, or barrels. Hydraulic presses are used to press cheese, and vacuum chambers may be used to remove air. Cured cheese blocks may be packaged in corrugated cartons, or cut into smaller blocks, vacuum sealed in plastic, then packaged in boxes, or cut or shredded prior to packaging.
This classification excludes establishments primarily engaged in the manufacture of milk and other related dairy products not covered by another classification which are to be reported separately in classification 4002-00; establishments engaged in the manufacture of cheese-based salad dressings which are to be reported separately in classification 3902; and dairy farming operations which are to be reported separately in classification 7301.

Classification 4910.
4910-00 Property management services
Applies to establishments engaged in managing their own
((rental)) property or properties owned by others. Properties
include, but are not limited to, privately owned residential
or commercial buildings, malls, apartment or condominium
complexes, mobile home parks, halls, and conference rooms. Typical operations contemplated by this classification
include, but are not limited to, management ((or clerical))
duties, advertising, showing vacant units to prospective
tenants, collecting rent, providing security, and normal
maintenance and repair when conducted by employees of
employers subject to this classification. Normal maintenance
and repair contemplated by this classification includes
replacing parts on existing fixtures or equipment, repairing
existing structures, normal cleaning or janitorial activities,
maintaining existing landscaping, and shoveling snow from
driveways or walkways. Construction, alteration, or
improvements to the properties are not considered normal
maintenance and are not contemplated by this classification.
Major repair work is usually performed by contractors who are
not employees of the property management business. Apartment
or condominium complexes and mobile home parks may have common
areas such as, but not limited to, laundry facilities,
community rooms, tennis courts, exercise rooms, swimming
pools, saunas or hot tubs, and playgrounds or small park
areas. Common areas are maintained by employees of the
complex or park owner or by the property management service. Residents of mobile home parks are usually responsible for
maintaining their own mobile homes and their immediate space.
This classification includes homeowners' associations where residents in a housing development pay annual fees which cover the maintenance of lawns, paths, sprinkler systems, and common areas such as pools, activity centers, and tennis courts by employees of the homeowners' association.
This classification excludes employees engaged exclusively in clerical duties who are to be reported separately in classification 4904; employees engaged exclusively in sales duties such as collecting rents, showing and advertising the facility, conducting auctions, or in a combination of clerical and sales duties who are to be reported separately in classification 6303; establishments providing janitorial services exclusively which are to be reported separately in classification 6602; contractors engaged in mobile home set up or removal who are to be reported separately in classification 0517; any new construction or alteration work performed by employees of employers subject to this classification which is to be reported separately in the applicable construction classification; establishments that contract to perform maintenance or repair, but have no responsibilities in the management of the property, which are to be reported separately in the applicable classification; and lodging or food serving operations which are to be reported separately in the applicable classification.
4910-01 Chimney cleaning - residential buildings
Applies to establishments engaged in providing chimney cleaning services to residential customers. Workers who perform chimney cleaning services are commonly referred to as "chimney sweeps" and usually work alone or as a two-person team. When working as a team, one "sweep" works inside the house and the other works on the roof. The methods of cleaning vary. To protect the floors and furniture, drop cloths are placed in front of the fireplace and taped over the opening. The vertical drop cloth may have a "boot" or slit in it which allows rods to be pushed through. Various brushes, usually wire, are attached to extension rods and worked up and down the flue to dislodge the soot and creosote. Creosote deposits may be removed also with a chimney bar, which is a pipe-like instrument with a chisel end, or by using metal scrapers. Where the chimney top is protected from the rain by a hood or cap, it may not be possible to insert the brushes into the opening; a chain or weight may be lowered and swung back and forth inside the chimney. Some sweeps have custom-made vacuum trucks with large collection chambers to collect the soot. In addition to cleaning the chimney flue and fireplace, some sweeps clean oil, gas and coal burning furnaces, repair chimney and flue linings, remove animals from chimneys, and offer other related services. Repairs included in this classification are limited to such activities as caulking around the flashing and sealing brickwork.
