Ohio is a captive insurance state for workers comp - meaning your only choice 
for workers comp is the state run program.

We use:

8742 for Sales
8901 for office workers
9516 for installers
7600 for tower workers

We requested from workers comp that they do a classification audit.   A workers 
comp inspector did extensive interviews and visited with the installers.   The 
inspector then assigned the above codes and provided his written documentation 
of how and why he assigned those.   

Ask your insurance company to do a classification audit.  You can quit 
guessing, and you have something in writing to point to if the company ever 
disputes a claim over classification.
