provide that; "A ladder shall, as far as practicable, be securely fixed so that it cannot move either from the top or from its bottom points of rest, or if it cannot be so securely fixed:

1.1 Facts of the case

In this case, the plaintiff had been erecting speakers in the mill plant of the defendants with two assistants. When the plaintiff was working with the assistants, it was the practice for one of them to hold the ladder at the base as an anchor. On 25 February 1989, day that the accident occurred, the plaintiff's two assistants were taken away by another employee with the consent of the supervisor. When the plaintift protested, he was ordered to get on with the job, and given a further warning that otherwise he would probably have no job. The plaintiff then continued without any assistant holding the ladder as anchor. The ladder was too wide for the outside rail to rest against the column. On the plaintiff's third ascent, the ladder slid from under him. He fell to the floor, with his left knee la nding heavily on one of the rungs. He consequently suffered a fractured knee and severe injuries which ultimately resulted in a permanent disability of 15 percent loss of the use of his left knee.

(a) It shall, when practicable, be securely fixed

at the base; or

(b) If fixing at the base is impracticable, a

person shall be stationed at the base of the ladder to prevent it from slipping."
From the evidence, Jalina J reasoned that the plaintiff had been using the ladder and carrying out the work in safety for as long as the two assistants were with him. There was no evidence from the defendants that the ladder was securely fixed either at the top or the bottom. As long as the assistant stood at the base of the ladder and supported it, the defendants complied with s 11(b) of the Order. As soon as the assistants were taken away, on the other hand, the system of work became inherently dangerous, resulting in the breach of their statutory duty. The defendants were
a

therefore both negligent and liable for breach of

statutory duty.

According to Section 15(1) Occupational Safety and Health Act L994 General duties of employers and selfemployed persons to their employees, it shall be the

In this case, employer not only takes away the assistance to assist the employee but also fail to provide any safety belt or ropes to the employee, It should be under duty of care of employer to provide enough safety equlpment to employee to perform their job.

Each employee on a walking/working suface with an unprotected side or edge which is 2 meters or more to a lower level shall be protected from falling by the use of a guardrail system, safety net system, or personal fall-arrest system

Where there is a possibility of serious harm from a fall of less than 2 meters, fall protection is still needed. Consideration should also be given to situations where a person may slide down an inclined suface before
