Wis JI-Civil 1911
Safe-Place Statute: Control
Before a person has a duty to furnish a safe place of employment, the person must
have the right to present control over the place so that the person can perform the duty to
furnish a safe place of employment. This control of the premises need not be exclusive, nor is
it necessary to have control for all purposes in order to impose a duty to furnish a safe place
of employment.
If you find under the evidence that (the owner of the property) (the general contractor)
(any contractor) (or both) had a duty to furnish a safe place of employment, that duty extends
only to such use as the (owner, general contractor, contractor, or both) and (his) (her)
employees made of the premises and the effect produced thereon by (his) (her) own work,
materials, and equipment within (his) (her) supervision and control.
