        industrial classification on the basis of the safety record or 
        workers' compensation record of that industry segment.  An 
        employer must comply with subdivision 8 six months following the 
        date the standard industrial classification or North American 
        industry classification that applies to the employee is placed 
        on the list.  An employer having less than 51 employees must 
        comply with subdivision 8 six months following the date the 
        standard industrial classification or North American industry 
        classification that applies to the employee is placed on the 
        list or by July 1, 1993, whichever is later.  The list shall be
