General Contractor Successful On Summary Judgment.

Masonry subcontractor worker at construction project stepped onto the rung of a plaster scaffold to gain access so he could lay masonry underneath it.  The scaffold was wet.  His shoes were muddy.  He slipped and was injured.  He sued the general contractor alleging his injuries “were caused by [the general contractor’s] negligence in sequencing and coordinating construction work at the site, and failing to call a ‘rain day’ to protect workers from dangerous conditions caused by slippery surfaces.  The trial court granted the general contractor’s motion for summary judgment, and the appellate court affirmed under the Privette-Toland doctrine (See, Privette v. Sup. Ct. (Contreras) (1993) 5 Cal.4th 689, [854 P.2d 721; 21 Cal.Rptr.2d 72]; Toland v. Sunland Housing Group, Inc. (1998) 18 Cal.4th 253, [955 P.2d 504; 74 Cal.Rptr.2d 878], and because there are no triable issues of material fact.  Brannan v. Lathrop Construction Associates, Inc.  (Cal. App. First Dist. Div. 1; June 12, 2012) 206 Cal.App.4th 1170.
