Can I claim the fees paid for Workmens Comp Insurance as a business expense and if so where on the Schedule C?

I paid for Workmens Comp Insurance and would like to deduct these payments as a business expense. If these are deductible where do I report them on the Schedule C or in the TurboTax categories for business expenses?
