This is an appeal from a jury verdict in the Stark County Court of Common Pleas in favor of defendant-appellee, Ohio Power Company. Plaintiffs-appellants, Thomas M. and Mary Joseph, filed suit claiming that appellee was liable for Joseph’s injuries by failing to exercise reasonable care in providing a safe place to work. While working for an independent contractor, Morakis Painting Company, Joseph came into contact with 23,000 volts of electricity while climbing a column at one of appellee’s substations and was severely injured. The jury’s verdict was tested by several interrogatories.
