Phraseology
Rolling Mill – NOC & DriversDescription
Code 3027 applies to employers engaged in the production of plate stock, sheet stock, coil stock or strip stock. Brass, copper and/or other soft metals such as aluminum are charged in a standard melting furnace and poured into an iron mold. The resulting hot cake is rolled on various types of rolling mills depending on the product involved. The plate, sheet, coil and strip stock may be flattened by roll flatteners and then annealed. Includes cutting or shearing to size and coiling of the coil stock prior to shipping or delivery to the employer’s customers’ locations.
This classification also applies to manufacturing tin foil. Ingots or metal are melted in melting pots. The liquid is then poured into molds, allowed to cool and harden into sheets. The sheets are put through rolling mills where the continuous rolling serves to reduce the thickness of the sheets which ultimately produces the foil. The foil is then slit to desired width and packed for shipment or delivery to the employer’s customers’ locations.
Assignment by Analogy
• Aluminum – foil – household
• Lead works – includes sheet, pipe or shot – no smelting
• Metal cladding
• Metal – lead – no smelting
• Pipe or tube mfg. – lead – no smelting
• X-ray – protective equipment – partitions
