Supreme Court dismisses employer's claim that employee's negligence caused accident due to unsafe work conditions.

The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision denying work accident benefits to an employee who suffered an injury while operating a saw. The court found that the employer failed to provide essential safety equipment like a chisel and winter protective clothing, forcing the employee to cut wood in a dangerous environment. Consequently, the court ruled that the employer's failure to ensure basic safety conditions excluded the possibility of attributing the accident solely to the employee's negligence.
