ABSTRACT

One day, Alan, who works directly with oil products, puts on a pair of protective overalls but, because he cannot be bothered to take his safety boots off, he rips them down the leg. He replaces these torn overalls on a hanger and puts on a fresh pair. Shortly afterwards, Brian, who works in the accounts section, goes into an area where it is necessary to wear overalls. He puts on the torn overalls without noticing the defect and, whilst in the oil product area, he trips over the torn leg of the overalls and falls, injuring his elbow.
