Which of the following demonstrates compliance with workers’ compensation requirements on a C-60 project?

• A. Proof of workers’ compensation (or exemption).
• B. Proof of property insurance.
• C. Proof of commercial auto coverage.
• D. Proof of liability coverage.

Answer: (A)

Working on a C-60 welding project requires proving you have workers’ compensation coverage for anyone you employ, or showing you’re exempt if you have no employees. This is a statutory requirement in California: employers must carry workers’ compensation for their workers, and the project owner or contractor will ask for a certificate of insurance or an exemption before work starts. This proof specifically demonstrates coverage for job-related injuries and medical expenses, which is different from other insurance types.

Property insurance, commercial auto coverage, and liability coverage are important for various risks, but they do not fulfill the workers’ compensation obligation. They protect against different kinds of losses and do not provide the medical and wage benefits workers receive under workers’ comp. So the correct demonstration of compliance is having workers’ comp coverage (or a valid exemption).
