The court found the plaintiff's evidence that she fell due to a wet floor unreliable and concluded the accident resulted from the mop-wringer handle rebounding and the plaintiff's mishandling; the defendant had provided adequate training and PPE options and the task was routine and not inherently hazardous; therefore the defendant did not breach its duties and is not liable at common law; the plaintiff's claim is dismissed and costs are awarded to the defendant.
