The Court of Appeal held that the finding of an oily/slippery patch on the vehicle footrest established a breach of s6 because the defendant's cleaning regime (random inspections and non‑enforced exhortations) did not amount to measures required 'so far as reasonably practicable'; the employer failed to prove it was not reasonably practicable to prevent the condition; foreseeability is not an implied requirement under s6; appeal allowed and damages awarded.
