Automobile Service or Repair Center - Dealers Only

What is Class Code 9508?

Class code 9508 covers automobile service and repair center employees at dealerships, including service technicians, lube technicians, parts department staff, and service advisors. Florida's large vehicle fleet and year-round driving season make auto dealer service departments significant employers. Hazards include chemical exposure from automotive fluids, ergonomic injuries from working in awkward positions under vehicles, and burns from hot components.

Who is Covered Under This Code?

Dealership service technicians, lube technicians, parts department staff, service advisors, and detail shop employees at automobile dealerships.

Tips to Reduce Your Premium

• Chemical handling procedures for automotive fluids (oil, coolant, brake fluid) reduce exposure claims
• Ergonomic programs for technicians working in awkward positions reduce musculoskeletal claims
• Lift safety training and inspection programs prevent crush injuries from vehicle lifts
• Separate non-service dealership staff (sales, finance) under appropriate office classifications

Common Claim Scenarios

Back strains from working under vehicles, chemical burns and skin irritation from automotive fluids, cuts from sharp metal components, and crush injuries from vehicle lifts are the primary claim types.
