In simple words: This code indicates that the injury or illness happened at a dock or shipyard.

This code identifies a dock or shipyard as the place where an external cause of injury or other adverse effect occurred.It should be used as a secondary code to a code from another chapter indicating the nature of the condition, most often from Chapter 19 (Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes).

Example 1: A worker falls from scaffolding while repairing a ship at a shipyard. The primary code would be for the fall (e.g., W07.XXXA) and Y92.62 would be used to specify the location as a shipyard., A longshoreman is injured by a falling container at a dock. The primary code would describe the injury (e.g., S06.XXXA for skull fracture) with Y92.62 as the supplementary code for the dock location., A visitor slips and falls on a wet surface at a dry dock. The primary code would document the injury (e.g., S80.XXXA) and Y92.62 is used to denote the place of occurrence.

Documentation should clearly state that the event occurred at a dock or shipyard. The specific type of dock (e.g., dry dock, floating dock) or shipyard should be noted if known. As this is a supplementary code, the primary diagnosis related to the injury or illness must also be documented.

** This code helps identify potential workplace hazards and guide safety measures in industrial settings.
