GREENIDGE v. ANCHOR CONSTR

The uncontradicted proof demonstrated that plaintiff, while installing an electrical fixture on the ceiling of defendant Anchor's premises, fell when the ladder upon which he was standing slipped. Inasmuch as it is plain that the ladder was inadequate to protect plaintiff from the risks to which he was exposed by reason of the particular elevated work he was performing and that plaintiff was not furnished any other safety device, the grant of summary judgment as to liability upon plaintiff's Labor Law § 240(1) claim was proper (see Cruz v. Turner Constr. Co., 279 A.D.2d 322; Spaulding v. Metro. Life Ins. Co., 271 A.D.2d 316).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
