Jackson. Counsel for plaintiffs and defendant HAROLD BEASLEY PLUMBING & HEATING, INC. appeared. After full consideration of the papers filed in support and in opposition to this motion for summary judgment, and ora! argument, the Court adopts its tentative ruling and hereby orders: 1 ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT HAROLD BEASLEY PLUMBING & HEATING, INC.’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENTY Cm DN WH B&B WD Bares CUmANG LP ‘358-12 Simca Defendant sustained its initial burden. Plaintiffs failed to submit evidence creating a triable issue whether defendant owed a duty to plaintiff, a non-employee. Specifically, plaintiffs failed to submit evidence creating a triable issue whether defendant knew or should have known that the products or materials to which it exposed Mr. Ross contained asbestos. Even accepting plaintiffs’ argument that the duty was created pursuant to the 1955 General Industry Safety Orders (GISOs), plaintiffs failed to submit evidence creating a triable issue whether defendant knew or should have known that the products or materials allegedly disturbed and/or used by defendant’s employees in Mr. Ross’ presence, who was a non-employee, were hazardous (i.e. asbestos) and exceeded the dust count acceptable under the 1955 GISOs. Defendant’s objections to Dr. Cohen’s declaration are sustained. IT IS SO ORDERED TERI L. JACKSON DATED: WAY 08 2013 HONORABLE TERI L.
