PRESENCE OF LOOSE GRANULES WHICH CAUSED PLAINTIFF TO SLIP TO HIS KNEES VIOLATED INDUSTRIAL CODE, PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT ON HIS LABOR LAW 241(6) CAUSE OF ACTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing (modifying) Supreme Court, determined plaintiff was entitled to summary judgment on his Labor Law 241 (6) cause of action because the presence of loose material on a roof which cause plaintiff to slip to his knees violated an industrial code provision:

 

The record demonstrates that the loose granules on the roof surface that caused plaintiff to slip were not integral to the structure or the work … , but were an accumulation of debris from which § 23-1.7(e)(2) requires work areas to be kept free … .. Thus, plaintiff is entitled to summary judgment as to liability on the Labor Law § 241(6) cause of action insofar as it is predicated upon § 23-1.7(e)(2). Lester v JD Carlisle Dev. Corp., 2017 NY Slip Op 09259, First Dept 12-28-17
