The workshop
and factories code provision which applied to the electric utility
and clearance tree-trimming industries could only apply to outdoor
activities, and therefore applied to this injury.

Opinion by: Justice Lundberg Stratton
Fencing

a workshop so that the workshop and factories provision of
the safety code applied.
