An ESB employee who slipped and fell on stairs as he was collecting post has been awarded €110,000 damages by the High Court. Mr Morgan hurt his shoulder in the fall, was out of work for more than four months and has been left with ongoing pain. “This accident was reasonably forseeable and the ESB had given no specific training on collection and delivery of post,” the judge said. SafetyMs Justice O’Hanlon noted it was accepted by both sides the ESB is a fastidious in terms of its emphasis on safety, protocol and investigation. Ms Justice O’Hanlon said Mr Morgan came across as a very credible witness who did not appear in court to overstate his complaints.
