DECEDENT’S WORK AS A WELDER NOT A COVERED ACTIVITY UNDER LABOR LAW 240 (1) (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals, in a one-sentence memorandum, determined the plaintiff was not engaged in an activity covered by Labor Law 240 (1) when he was injured:

Decedent’s work as a welder during the “normal manufacturing process” of fabricating rotor components for air preheaters did not involve “erection, demolition, repairing, altering, painting, cleaning or pointing” of a building or structure (Jock v Fien , 80 NY2d 965, 968 [1992]; Labor Law § 240 [1]).  Preston v APCH, Inc., 2020 NY Slip Op 01000, Ct App 2-13-20
