ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed and cross-appealed from, with one bill of costs to the defendant M.J.B. Inc./Andretta Associates, Inc., payable by the plaintiffs and the defendant EklecCo.
Contrary to the plaintiffs' contention, the Supreme Court properly dismissed the complaint insofar as asserted against the defendant M.J.B. Inc./Andretta Associates, Inc. (hereinafter MJB). "When an employee elects to receive Workers' Compensation benefits from his general employer, a special employer is shielded from any action at law commenced by the employee" (Martin v. Baldwin Union Free School Dist., 271 A.D.2d 579, 580). MJB established that the plaintiff Guiseppe Pirrotta was its special employee as a matter of law and, therefore, the plaintiffs' complaint against it is barred by the Workers' Compensation Law (see, Skyu v. La Barranca Realty Corp., 282 A.D.2d 600, lv denied N.Y.2d [Dec. 20, 2001]; Martin v. Baldwin Union Free School Dist., supra; Zylinski v. Garito Contr., 268 A.D.2d 427).
The Supreme Court properly dismissed the plaintiffs' causes of action pursuant to Labor Law §§ 240(1) and 241(6) insofar as asserted against the defendant EklecCo. The injured plaintiff's accident, where he allegedly suffered injuries when he was pulled out of chest-deep mud, did not involve an elevation-related hazard contemplated by Labor Law § 240(1) (see, Ross v. Curtis-Palmer Hydro-Electric Co., 81 N.Y.2d 494; Rocovich v. Consolidated Edison Co., 78 N.Y.2d 509). The cause of action pursuant to Labor Law § 241(6) was properly dismissed, as the provisions of the Industrial Code allegedly violated were either general provisions or inapplicable to the facts of this case (see, 12 NYCRR 23-4.1 [a]; 23-4.2; 23-4.4).
The Supreme Court properly denied that branch of the defendant EklecCo's motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the plaintiffs' cause of action pursuant to Labor Law § 200 insofar as asserted against it. A property owner may be held liable under Labor Law § 200 "only where the plaintiff's injuries were sustained as a result of a dangerous condition at the work site, rather than as a result of the manner in which the work was performed, and then only if the owner exercised supervision and control over the work performed at the site or had actual or constructive notice of the [dangerous] condition" (Giambalvo v. Chemical Bank, 260 A.D.2d 432, 433; see, Rosemin v. Oved, 254 A.D.2d 343; Houchang Haghighi v. Bailer, 240 A.D.2d 368). Although EklecCo did not exercise supervision and control over the work at the site, a triable issue of fact exists as to whether it had actual and/or constructive notice of the allegedly dangerous condition which caused the injured plaintiff's injuries.
Finally, the Supreme Court properly denied as premature that branch of EklecCo's motion which was for summary judgment on its cross claim against MJB for indemnification (see, Chun v. Ecco III Enterprises, 268 A.D.2d 454; Cruz v. Kowal Indus., 267 A.D.2d 271).
