The court held that for the overnight formwork dismantling work the plaintiff was an independent contractor; the type of task did not fall within Regulation 43 and the risk of eye injury from that task was not reasonably foreseeable, so there was no duty on the Defendants to provide goggles and no negligence or statutory breach was established; judgment for both Defendants.
