Code 0106 For Arborist
Over the years, we’ve helped dozens of Arborist and tree service professionals nationwide save on work comp premiums with an employee leasing service. Many times the request is to place the “ground employees” in a landscaping classification (code 0042) – obviously to reduce the higher work comp rate of code 0106.
The landscaping code is not applicable for the ground employees in this situation. Here is the 0106 classification description as written by National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI).
Code 0106 applies to specialist contractors who use hand tools or mechanical equipment to prune, spray, repair, trim, or fumigate trees. Code 0106 is applied to risks that perform one or more of the aforementioned activities. These operations may be performed from ground level or by climbing the tree, or may require the use of ladders and/or aerial buckets.
The removal, chipping, cleanup, and haul away of tree limbs and debris are also assigned to Code 0106.
Repair operations may involve cutting large, uprooted trees into manageable pieces for removal and/or pulling trees upright. Code 0106 additionally includes incidental tree removal of one or a few trees on developed sites conducted in connection with the described operations.
