JOHN WISLOH et al., Plaintiffs, v. AIR-A-PLANE CORPORATION, Defendant and Third-Party Plaintiff-Appellant. OGDEN SERVICES CORPORATION, Third-Party Defendant-Respondent.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The plaintiff John Wisloh was injured when he was struck on the head by a door, which he had opened, to the panel of an aircraft heating unit that he was in the process of operating. The aircraft heating unit was designed, manufactured, and distributed by the appellant. At the time of the injury, the plaintiff was employed by the third-party defendant, Ogden Services Corporation (hereinafter Ogden).

While the appellant argues that there are questions of fact as to whether Ogden provided training and instruction to Wisloh, his injuries resulted from his opening a door — a common activity for which an employer has no duty to train an employee ( see, Dupper v. Conrail, 120 A.D.2d 638, 640-641; see also, Tjepkema v. Rochdale Meat Mkt., 238 A.D.2d 333). Moreover, in a companion appeal, we have dismissed the plaintiffs' claim against the appellant ( see, Wisloh v. Air-A-Plane Corp., 251 A.D.2d 658 [decided herewith]). The appellant's remaining contention is without merit. Accordingly, Ogden is entitled to summary judgment.

Rosenblatt, J. P., Miller, Ritter and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
