Summary:

Claimant was struck on the head when he entered an area of his plant which had been taped off and marked "danger". His entry was contrary to the company's safety protocol and in breach of the company's safety rules. He was wilful and deliberate when he entered the danger area and it was so reckless that it approached wilfulness. He knew that it was wrong for him to do it but he decided to take that chance.
