The insurance court modified the pension board's decision regarding a dispute over industrial insulation work. The company argued the work fell under the TEL Act rather than the LEL Act because it involved only retrofitting existing pipes in industrial facilities. The court agreed, determining the activity did not constitute building work as defined in the LEL Act.

LEL Act s. 1; TEL Act s. 1: Work consisting solely of insulating pre-installed pipes in industrial buildings is classified under the TEL Act, not the LEL Act, as it lacks the characteristics of new construction or major renovation.

Käytännössä toiminta oli käsittänyt vain eristystyön suorittamista ja se kohdistui teollisuuslaitosten valmiiksi asennettuihin putkistoihin. Eristystyön ei katsottu olleen LEL:n 1 §:ssä tarkoitettua rakennustyötä vaan kuuluneen TEL:n piiriin. Eläkelautakunnan päätöstä muutettiin. III -jaosto VAKO 5019-5024:77, ETK 8/83
