Appeal allowed because prosecution failed to prove that the appellant knew or could reasonably have foreseen that the worker would be working at the high-level location that constituted an active workplace under the appellant's control; absent such foreseeability and proof that the location was within the appellant's responsibility, the statutory duty to provide safety measures was not established and the convictions were unsafe.
