Class Code 2881 Rates & Quotes

Furniture Assembly

Class code 2881 is used for employees that assemble furniture parts from outside sources such as tabletops. Finishing work such as trimming, sanding, polishing and painting may fall under this code, but risks classified in this code do not include extensive machine processing. This code also applies to assembling metal, wood, or plastic Venetian blinds when the parts are received from others. Cutting of slats, ribbon stock, rails or comices, and drilling holes is also included. Assembling slack cooperage and tight cooperage is included in Code 2881. The assembly of complete kegs, casks, barrels, tubs and tobacco hogsheads, and collapsible hogshead units also apply. For slack cooperage, finished staves received from stock manufacturers are placed in a setting-up form and dried over a heat source. Then, a bending press forces the staves together. Hoopers and trimmers fit hoops and trim up the staves and a crozer cuts the bevel and groove to fit the head, which are put into position, allowing the last hoops to be forced into place.

Tight cooperage follows similar operations, but require greater skill and more elaborate machinery. Tight cooperage is also sent through steamers to gain a closer fit before being windlassed. Tight barrels are inserted in a lathe, turned against a smoothing plant to obtain a better finish. Testing exists as the final operation; leaks should be repaired.

Class code 2881 applies to employees manufacturing precut clocks as well as those assembling wood plaques and trophies or picture frames from premanufactured parts received from others. Both insureds may use resin in the manufacturing process. This code also includes hand assembling of parts or signs manufactured by others and finishing. Code 2881 also pertains to the manufacture of wooden signs without the use of power machinery or without painting the signs.

The Codes 2881, 2883 and 2735 must not be assigned to the same risk unless the operations described by these classifications are conducted as separate and distinct businesses. Generally, Code 2881 primarily applies to assembly operations of premanufactured parts received from others. Wooden coffin or casket manufacturers exist as an exception.
