2020 classification and rate list

How to use this bookletThis booklet lists the base premium rates for all industries in British Columbia for 2020.

The first section, starting on page 4, provides an alphabetical listing of business under-takings along with their classification unit numbers and corresponding base premium rates.

The second section, starting on page 66, organizes base premium rates according to industry sectors and subsectors. It lists individual classification units, classification unit numbers, and base premium rates.

Base premium rates are stated as a percentage of assessable payroll. For example, Restaurant or Other Dining Establishment, a classification unit in the Service Sector, has a 2020 base premium rate of 0.79% of assessable payroll. Your assessable payroll is the total remuneration you paid your workers and any active shareholders. For 2020, the maximum assessable payroll per worker is $87,100.

Where "not elsewhere specified" is indicated in the classification unit title, please note that the classification unit represents business activities that are not appropriately represented elsewhere in the classification system. It recognizes that the current collection of classification unit descriptions are not exhaustive, and that product or service type, processes or equipment, and industry competition must also be considered when determining a best industry fit.

All base premium rates listed in this booklet are effective from January 1 to December 31, 2020.

How is my business classified?When you register with WorkSafeBC, your business is classified according to your main business undertaking and placed in a rate group. The premiums collected from each rate group pay for the costs of injuries and diseases that arise from that particular group.

Each rate group must be large enough to provide an adequate spread of risk and some stability to the base premium rate — an important consideration when the costs of an occupational injury can exceed $1 million.

Do I pay a different rate for different workers?No. Your classification and base premium rate reflect your main business undertaking — not the occupations within your business. For example, you pay the same base premium rate for both an office worker and a shop worker. In most cases, firms pay one base premium rate for all of their activities.

Where do my premiums go?Your premiums fund the costs associated with work-related injuries or diseases, health care, wage loss, rehabilitation, and administration. WorkSafeBC is a statutory agency of the provincial government; therefore, premium payments are not part of provincial revenue.

What influences my base premium rate?

Costs in your industry drive your insurance ratesThe base premium rate for your classification unit reflects the historical cost of injuries for your industry. You can lower costs for your industry by working with employers and the health and safety association in your industry to improve health, safety, and disability management. As the costs of injuries fall, so do insurance rates.

How it works We assign your firm to a classification unit based on the products you produce, the services you provide, and the processes, technology, or material you use.

Some classification units aren’t big enough for us to predict claim costs, so we combine similar classification units to form industry groups (for example, berry farms, vineyard, and wineries). We then combine industry groups that share a similar claim cost profile into insurance pools, called rate groups. Some industry groups are large enough to form their own rate groups. Setting rates for these large rate groups allows us to deliver more stable rates.

Employers in each rate group pay the costs of injuries, diseases, and prevention activities for the group. As costs change, so do rates. Each year, some rates go up, some go down, and some stay the same.

Every year, we compare your industry group’s claim cost profile to your rate group. If your industry group’s claim costs fall outside the range of your rate group for multiple years, we move your industry group to a more appropriate rate group. If your costs drop and we move you to a lower risk group, your base premium rate would also drop.

Claim costs are driven by the number of claims and the cost of benefits for those claims. By preventing injuries and supporting injured workers in recovering at work and returning to work safely, firms and industries can reduce claim costs.

Special hazard classificationWorkSafeBC recognizes certain industries as high-risk, and each year designates these industries to special hazard classifications.

Special hazard classifications must be large enough to be statistically credible. They must also have claim costs and a serious injury rate of more than five times the average of all industries.

Classification units designated as special hazard are listed on page 79 in the 2020 Classification and Rate List.
