Applies only in connection with construction or erection.  Does not apply to the payroll for cleaners except when the payroll for watch guards, timekeepers and cleaners is more than all other payroll of the employer which is subject to construction or erection classifications at the same job or location.

Code 5610 applies to employers engaged in removing construction or erection debris provided they are not engaged in construction or erection operations.  This classification also applies to debris removal employees of a construction or erection contractor provided that the payroll for the cleaners, timekeepers and watch guards is greater than all the other payroll of the employer subject to construction or erection classifications at the same job or location.  This classification can be applied to debris removal employees that are working on different floors of the job site that have already been completed by the tradesperson or to debris removal employees after the tradesperson left for the day provided their payroll meets the criterion. 

Timekeepers and watch guards employed by construction or erection contractors are present during the construction or erection operations.  Watch guards also work nights, weekends and holidays to assure that vandalism and theft does not occur.

The payroll of Code 5606 “Contractor – Executive Supervisor, Construction Executive, Construction Manager, Construction Superintendent or Project Manager” shall be excluded when determining whether the payroll for cleaners, timekeepers and/or watch guards exceeds all other payroll of the insured subject to construction or erection operations at the same job or location.  If the insured is classified as Code 5606 and also has this classification exposure, this classification shall apply even if the Code 5606 exposure is greater.

This classification does not apply to cleaner/debris removal employees working in conjunction with the tradespersons.  Such employees are considered laborers and subject to the same classification as the tradesperson.
