Code Description
Hosiery Manufacturing
Workers' compensation class code 2361 — "Hosiery Manufacturing" — covers Florida workers in textile, apparel, and fabric manufacturing operations. While Florida's textile sector is smaller than historically major textile states, the state has significant apparel manufacturing, upholstery production, and specialty textile operations employing workers in these classifications.
The 2025 Florida filed rate for code 2361 is $1.48 per $100 of payroll. Historical rates: 2022: $1.88, 2023: $1.75, 2024: $1.58, 2025: $1.48. Rates for this code have declined 21.3% since 2022 — part of Florida's broader workers' comp market improvement driven by tort reform and loss-cost reductions approved by FLOIR. Textile manufacturing workers face ergonomic hazards from repetitive motions, machinery-related laceration and entanglement risks, and dust or fiber exposure depending on the specific process. Proper classification across different production functions is important for premium accuracy in multi-process textile facilities.
Florida textile and apparel employers should address ergonomic hazard assessment, machine guarding on all cutting and sewing equipment, and fiber dust exposure controls where applicable. OSHA's general industry standards for cotton dust (1910.1043) apply to cotton processing operations. Proper lighting and workstation design also affect both productivity and injury rates.
Florida apparel and upholstery businesses often employ workers across multiple NCCI classifications — production workers, cutters, shipping staff, and office personnel — each with different rate levels. Accurate payroll segregation and documentation of employee duties is essential for minimizing workers' comp costs at year-end audit without sacrificing coverage.
