The best illustration of this is the case of [case](Horsey and Rackley, page 292). Chimney sweeps were called in by the defendant to come and clean out the flues of an old coke burning boiler in the Manchester Assembly Rooms. They tried to do their work on the chimney and flues without extinguishing the boiler. They were found dead in the chimney the next day having been killed by carbon monoxide gas. There was no liability as this was a normal risk that the sweeps should have protected against. Ironically, the occupier had actually warned them of the risks before they started the job.
