FRANCISCA IVIRICU, APPELLANT,
v.
ROLANDO VELASCO, ET AL., APPELLEES

Fla. 3d DCA | 1996-03-13
No. 95-950
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and JORGENSON and GODERICH, JJ.
669 So. 2d 337 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1996)

Opinion of the Court
SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge.

SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge.

The plaintiff appellant is a household employee of the defendants. She was injured attempting to clean a piece of furniture while standing in a precarious position on a bed. She stated that she had requested but been refused the use of a step ladder which would have made the task safe to perform. The defense summary judgment entered below is reversed because the record presents a triable issue as to whether the employers breached their duty to provide the plaintiff with a reasonably safe place in, and reason ably safe tools and equipment with which to work. See Zygmont v. Smith, 548 So. 2d 902 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989); Dearing v. Reese, 519 So. 2d 761 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988); Barker v. Osman, 340 So. 2d 965 (Fla. 3d DCA 1976), and cases cited; Westberry v. Great Atl. & Pac. Tea Co., 191 So. 2d 613 (Fla. 3d DCA 1966), cert. denied, 200 So. 2d 811 (Fla.1967).
