OPINION

HUSPENI, Judge.

This is a slip and fall case. Appellant Wiley Yates (Yates) appeals the court’s denial of his motions for new trial and for judgment n.o.v. He contends that the court erred by refusing him the opportunity to comment on jury instructions and by submitting misleading instructions to the jury. Respondent Mathews Engineering (Mathews) filed a notice of review contesting a jury instruction that it had a nondele-gable duty to provide Yates with a safe work area and contesting denial of its motion for directed verdict against Hanna Mining (Hanna). We reverse and remand.
