The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a nurse against her employer regarding a work-related Hepatitis B infection. The lower court found the employer had fulfilled all statutory safety obligations, including providing sterilized equipment and personal protective gear, as confirmed by official inspections. The court ruled that the employer's duty was met and the employee's own refusal of vaccination did not create liability for the employer.
