The defendant did not breach the duty to provide a safe system of work: the chisels provided were industry standard and adequate; the plaintiff elected to use a sledgehammer as an experienced workman; manpower and pace were adequate; the injury was an unfortunate accident exacerbated by a pre-existing degenerative back condition, therefore the claim is dismissed.
