Insurance Occupational Classes
The occupational class is mainly used to determine the risk for the underwriting of a new policy and the calculation of the premium that should be paid for coverage.
It is often observed in both group and personal insurance to help with the profiling.
Why is it classified into different classes?
Some occupations are more dangerous and riskier than others. Certain fields share common exposures and hazards which makes it easier to class them in the same group.
For example, a call center employee that does his/her work in the office doesn’t have the same level of risk compared to a technician that does manual work. The technician might need to confront working around moving vehicles or heavy equipment which exposes them to riskier and higher-level threats.
The Occupational Classes in Malaysia
There are four different occupational classes of risks that are widely observed in Malaysia.
Class 1
“White collar” workers and all persons whose duties are confined to office work or limited traveling. A few examples of occupations include attorneys, teachers, and clerks.
Class 2
These are workers that are more prone to accidents due to their work. Workers in this class do work with their hands. They however do not use machinery. The occupations included in this category are physicians, dentists, supervising executives, and merchants.
Class 3
These are skilled or semi-skilled workers that are more prone to accidents by the nature of their work despite safety prevention measures. This includes petrol station attendants, farmers, retail delivery clerks, cooks, butchers, and fishmongers.
Class 4
These are most industrial workers that use heavy machinery or unskilled laborers. Such as heavy manual workmen, electricians, and machinists.
