The court accepted the plaintiff's credible evidence that he was instructed to extract concrete from the hopper and that the safety grille had been removed by others, finding no negligence by the plaintiff; consequently the employer breached its duty to provide a safe system of work and is wholly liable; damages were assessed using accepted multiplicand-multiplier calculations, reduced by prior workmen's compensation, with specified interest and costs order.
