The C-8 concrete classification requires an active Workers' Compensation policy in California regardless of employee count. We confirm it and file your proof with the CSLB.
60-second form. No obligation.
Concrete work is physically demanding and higher-risk, and the C-8 classification carries a Workers' Compensation requirement that applies even to owner-only operations.
Under California rules, the C-8 Concrete classification requires an active Workers' Compensation policy regardless of employee count. Even as an owner-only contractor, you cannot claim an exemption with this classification. If you hold a C-8 license, coverage is mandatory now to keep your license active.
Owner-only concrete contractors, flatwork and foundation specialists, and C-8 license holders needing compliant coverage.
Many concrete contractors carry Workers' Compensation simply because general contractors, property managers, developers, HOAs, and government projects require a certificate before allowing them on a jobsite. Without one, you can lose project opportunities, get removed from approved vendor lists, and miss higher-paying commercial work.
Tell us your classification and we'll confirm your requirement, quote multiple California carriers, and file your proof with the CSLB.
