Raymond testified in his deposition that he had over 25 years' experience as a pipe fitter and that he had worked at the Borden plant for 5 years. Plaintiffs alleged that Borden was negligent in failing to protect Raymond from a dangerous condition on its property: resin. Plaintiffs alleged that this knowledge imposed a duty on Pinner and Lyons to maintain safe equipment. Plaintiffs alleged that Pinner and Lyons knew that Scheck employees routinely used Pinner or Lyons ladders and other tools to complete Scheck jobs. Plaintiffs alleged that the ladder Raymond used on May 5 belonged to either Pinner or Lyons. Plaintiffs filed an eight-count complaint against Borden, Pinner and Lyons, alleging defendants were negligent in failing to protect Raymond from the dangerous ladder.
On May 5, 1997, Raymond was repairing a roof in a pump room when he slipped and fell off a ladder coated with resin, sustaining injuries. Plaintiff Raymond Preze was employed by Scheck as a pipe fitter. Borden also hired Pinner and Lyons to perform electrical work.
