Opinion
No. 2012AP1409.

Id. at 432–33. Kernan did not hold that violation of a general safety statute is negligence per se; rather, it held that an employer may be liable for violation of a statute directed at the relevant industry, regardless of whether the regulation was designed to prevent the specific injury suffered by the employee. Stock has failed to show there was anything inappropriate about this instruction. 12
