Includes packing or handling household goods away from the employer’s premises.

Code 8293 applies to employers engaged in moving and/or storage of furniture and household furnishings.

Furniture and household furnishings are moved from one location to another or to and from storage warehouses.  In some instances, the drivers and helpers or a separate force of employees will pack and crate goods at homes prior to moving them.  At the warehouses, articles are packed, crated and stored.

If an employer also stores general merchandise in addition to household or office furniture at the same warehouse, the square footage breakdown between furniture storage and general merchandise storage areas would determine the appropriate storage warehouse classification.  If the square footage is mostly devoted to the storage of household or office furniture, then this classification would apply.

This classification does not apply to an employer operating a warehouse for storage of their own merchandise.
