The appeal is dismissed because the working platform with guard rails became ineffective when the worker used an improvised plank and chute, the contractor failed to take adequate steps under regulation 38B (including supervision and provision of fall-arrest systems), the worker's conduct was foreseeable and in the course of employment, and the statutory defence in regulation 38H did not apply.
