The proposed rule also adopts the corresponding definitions published in the NCCI, Scopes® of Basic Manual Classifications (February, 2011) and defines when an employer is engaged in the construction industry, for purposes of this rule. The aforementioned materials include updates through February 1, 2011. The effect of the proposed rule is to incorporate and maintain accurate construction class codes, descriptions and definitions for purposes of determining the necessary coverage requirements when obtaining workers’ compensation insurance.
