Order unanimously reversed on the law with costs and motion granted, in accordance with the following memorandum: The uncontroverted evidence in support of plaintiff's motion for summary judgment on the issue of liability establishes that the safety devices provided to plaintiff were inadequate for the work he was directed to perform. The line attached to plaintiff's safety belt was too short to provide protection while he was moving from one work station to another (see, Conway v New York State Teachers' Retirement Sys., 141 A.D.2d 957). Thus, as a matter of law, defendant owner violated its duty under Labor Law § 240 and partial summary judgment should have been granted in favor of plaintiff.
