Manufacturing, warehouse, and trade work carry higher rates than office jobs, so safety and classification matter more here.
| Business type | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturers and warehouses | Shop-floor classifications and safety programs | Lifting, machinery, and forklifts are common claim sources; a written safety program helps. |
