WC & EL / PART TWO / CLASSIFICATION CODE INTERPRETATIONS

Code 1860 applies to employers engaged in manufacturing abrasive paper or cloth commonly known as sandpaper or emery cloth in the form of belts, sheets, rolls, or special shapes.  The "Making Machine" is usually a grouping of three units, i.e., a printer, an adhesive coater and an abrasive grain dispenser.  This equipment may be manually operated, semiautomatic or fully automatic.  Backing, received from outside sources (cloth, paper and combination of these laminated together) is started through the printer which imprints the backside with the trademark, grade number and other identifications.  The backing then receives an application of an adhesive bond varying in concentration and quantity according to particle size of the mineral to be bonded.  The abrasive grains are applied either by a mechanical or an electrostatic method.  Other basic materials, received from outside sources, are abrasive grains, resins, varnishes, glues and commercial minerals such as flint, emery, crocus, garnet, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide.

Sanding discs or belts manufacturing

1. Abrasive wheels or abrasive grinding wheels.  Refer to Code 1748 “Abrasive Wheel Mfg. & Drivers.”

2. Manufacturing:
1. Cloth.  Refer to Code 2302 “Silk Thread or Yarn Mfg.”
2. Paper.  Refer to Code 4239 “Paper Mfg.”

Code 1748 applies to employers engaged in manufacturing abrasive wheels or abrasive blocks by heat molding, hydraulic pressure or plating type processes and includes finishing by grinding, polishing or buffing.  This classification is also used for manufacturing sharpening stones for use in honing knives or other implements, and products made from blocks of soapstone, talc or alabaster by cutting and shaping into objects.
 
For abrasive wheel manufacturing, materials such as, but not limited to, powdered silicon carbide, silicon oxide, carborundum, boron, sand, diamond dust, resins, fiberglass, rubber and cement are mixed to a proprietary formula.  The mixed materials are placed in steel molds, compressed using hydraulic presses, and allowed to harden.  They can be further cured by placing in an oven at low or high heat depending on materials used in the formula.  Then they are removed from the molds and can be milled, drilled and turned on a lathe, plus fitted with steel shanks.  Abrasive wheels can also be made by using steel wheel blanks and coating these with diamond dust using a nickel based electroplating solution.  The abrasive wheels are then finished by machining. 

For honed or oil stone products manufacturing, a suitable type of fine-grained rock is cut, turned on a lathe, shaped with various grinding equipment and smoothed with belt and disc sanders.  Items such as figurines or decorative products that require minimal sanding made from soapstone, talc or alabaster are made in a similar manner.

In the rating of employers under Code 9985, it is the prerogative of the carrier to determine the supplemental rate it feels is adequate to cover the radiation hazard in employers that engage in research, manufacturing, handling or transportation involving radioactive materials.  In general, these employers are written at the rate of the classification that would normally describe the employer’s operations.  The radiation hazard is covered by a supplemental rate, which the carrier determines on the basis of its own underwriting judgment.  The employers that have been rated under this rule are laboratories engaged in research on radioactive materials, isotope dealers and instrument manufacturers who use radioactive components in their instruments, etc.     

The use of supplemental loadings on employers where the radiation exposure is limited to just a few employees, as is the case of hospitals, universities, industrial plants and certain kinds of contractors, has been infrequent.  In these cases, if a supplemental loading was applied to those employees who have a radiation exposure, the additional premium would usually be inconsequential. 

Examples of these situations would be a large foundry with two or three employees using Cobalt-60 to check castings for flaws; an oil pipeline contractor who has a small crew to check pipeline welds either by X-ray equipment or Cobalt-60; and a paper mill or, in fact, any type of mill that uses isotope gauges to measure the thickness or density of materials like paper, sheet metal, rubber and plastics.  The tobacco industry, for example, is now using radioisotope density gauges to determine the quality of cigarettes.  It now employs more of these gauges, perhaps, than any other single industry, but the number of employees with a possible radiation exposure compared to the number of employees in the tobacco industry is so limited that it can be considered as a normal industrial development.  The use of radioisotopes for both diagnosis and therapy in hospitals has become standard practice.  At least two radioactive isotopes have already been accepted as pharmaceuticals.  There is an exception in the note under this classification that provides “where the radiation hazard involved arises from a reactor or is equivalent to the radiation hazard of a reactor, that the rating provisions of Code 9984 “Atomic Energy – Project Work” will apply.  Code 9984 relates to atomic energy projects that may involve the operations of, or experimental work on, nuclear reactors.  The procedure of rating these employers is an “agreed upon” basis between the carrier, the contractor and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

1. Atomic energy work – project work.  Refer to Code 9984 “Atomic Energy – Project Work.”

Nuclear Regulatory Commission projects are rated in accordance with the classification’s Description.  Since these employers are rated on an individual employer basis, the specific details may vary considerably from employer to employer.

All work, either construction or operation, performed for or under the direction of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or any government agency may be rated on an individual employer basis.  Each employer to be so rated shall be submitted by the carrier to the Rating Board for approval of the basis agreed upon by the carrier, the contractor and the Nuclear Regulatory commission or government agency.

With respect to this classification, the rates that have been agreed upon by the carrier, the contractor and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are not subject to review or approval.  The function of the Rating Board in such case, is to accept the rate and not question how it was determined other than to make sure that all parties involved have agreed to its use before extending approval.  Accordingly, the negotiated rate is considered acceptable.

1. Radiation exposure Not Otherwise Classified (NOC).  Refer to Code 9985 “Atomic Energy – NOC – Radiation Exposure.”

Merchandise sold at auctions may include art, automobiles, clothing, costumes, collectibles, computers, jewelry, motorcycles, real estate and vacation packages may also be sold.  Auctions may be held to liquidate estates, dealers’ or manufacturers’ overstock, confiscated or theft-salvaged property, or to sell donated items to raise funds for charity.  Merchandise is appraised to determine opening bids and to quote appraisal value to potential buyers when presented at auction.  When an item is presented, a buyer will make an opening bid, the next bidder will offer a price higher than the opening bid, and the bidding will continue with each subsequent bidder offering a price higher until the final bid is offered, and the item is declared sold to the highest bidder.  The seller will receive the highest bid minus the auctioneer’s fee.  Online auctions usually do not involve the auctioneer taking possession of the merchandise nor charging a fee to the buyer but facilitating the sales by providing a listing service and collecting either a small percentage of the final bid or a small listing fee.

The processing of cocoa beans includes cleaning and roasting of the cocoa beans.   Once the roasted beans are cooled, they crack open and the nibs (inner portions) are separated from the shells.  Some manufacturers will pack the shells and sell them as a by-product.  The nibs are blended and milled which converts them into a coarse liquor.  This chocolate liquor is pumped through a hydraulic press which extracts the fat, (cocoa butter) leaving a caked residue.  The cakes are broken down, pulverized to a fine powder, and the powder is sifted, cooled and packed.

The chocolate manufacturing process begins the same as the cocoa manufacturing process up to the point where the nibs are converted into a coarse liquor.  At this point, the cocoa liquor is combined with powdered sugar or artificial sweeteners, milk or milk powder, cocoa butter and flavorings.  All ingredients are mixed forming a paste.  The paste is refined and tempered until it reaches the desired liquid consistency.  This chocolate liquid is then pumped into forms or molds and cooled, forming ten-pound cakes.  The cakes are removed from the molds, wrapped and packed.  These are usually sold to confectionery manufacturers or bakeries for use in their own operations.

Also included under this classification are employers that are engaged in manufacturing candy and confections whether from chocolate or sugar, artificial sweeteners, corn syrup, extracts, flavorings, fruits, nuts, gelatin or other ingredients.

Code 4692 applies to employers engaged in operating dental laboratories.  Dental laboratories manufacture teeth replacement dental appliances or enhancement products such as bridges, crowns and dentures, and orthodontic products such as braces and retainers.  According to a dentist’s prescription, these laboratories will custom make the above products.  Replacements are normally made to match a patient’s natural teeth color.

Raw materials such as plastics, acrylics, gold, waxes, alloys, porcelain, wire, steel, titanium, other natural minerals and man-made substances are used to make the actual dental replacements.  The lab technicians that manufacture the dental replacements use small hand tools, grinding and polishing equipment, burners, small furnaces and crafting instruments such as carvers and wax spatulas.  

The patient’s dentist will furnish the dental laboratory with impressions of the patient’s mouth that they have taken.  The dental laboratory will create a plaster model from the impression that the dentist provided.  Once the plaster model is cured, it will be placed on to an articulator for which the patient’ selection of teeth is attached with wax.  The wax is shaped and carved by the laboratory technician, set into a flask for which plaster is added to preserve the denture’s shape.  The wax needs to be removed from the flask which is done by putting the flask into boiling water.  If any of the wax remains, it will be washed away.  So that the acrylic does not stick to the plaster, a liquid separator is applied prior to the injection of the acrylic.  Acrylic is then ready to be injected into the flax.  When the acrylic cures, the plaster mold is broken away by the laboratory technician by means of special tools.  The dentures are washed in an ultrasonic bath to remove any miscellaneous fragments, trimmed and polished.  The completed dentures are sent to the dentist. The dentist will have their patients try on the dentures.  It may take more than one fitting to assure proper fit.  Any required adjustments to the dentures are performed by the dental laboratory.
