Code 5403 applies to employers engaged in general carpentry work not otherwise classified in the Manual.  Operations assigned to this classification include, but are not limited to, the construction of wooden bridges and decks, the setup of wood silos, tanks, gazebos, pergolas, and trellises, and carpentry repair work involving termite control.

Carpentry repair and/or remodeling of commercial buildings and structures and dwellings that exceed three stories in height are also assigned to this classification.  To qualify for this classification, carpentry repair or remodeling operations of an interior or exterior nature must take place along with some framing or structural carpentry renovation of the premises that would ordinarily be assigned to this classification.  When these conditions occur, the employer is performing operations that are analogous to the construction of dwellings and/or commercial structures, and this classification is assigned to all carpentry operations in connection with the repair or renovation project.  Singular repair operations are assigned to the appropriate classifications representing their specific trades.  However, when activities of this nature take place in connection with operations that involve some framing or structural renovation of the dwelling or commercial structure, this classification must be assigned to these specialty operations.

Includes all carpentry work when performed by employees of the same carpentry contractor or general contractor responsible for the entire dwelling construction project.
