The New York Court of Appeals yesterday determined in Cahill v. Triborough Bridge & Tunnel Auth. that where an employer has made available adequate safety devices and an employee has been instructed to use them, the employee may not recover under Labor Law Section 240(1) for injuries caused solely by his violation of those instructions, even though the instructions were given several weeks before the accident occurred. This decision logically places the responsibility on the injured worker when the owner or general contractor has complied with section 240(1) and the worker has taken upon himself or herself to avoid using the safety devices provided to him or her.
