DAUKSCH, Judge.

This is an appeal from a judgment in a personal injury suit. Appellant owns Ivey's Department Stores.

Appellee was an employee of Olsten Temporary Services and was sent to Ivey's to do some labor on a temporary basis. He was injured on the job when a shelf he stepped upon collapsed. He sued Ivey's and the defense was a workers compensation bar. The trial court rejected that defense. We reverse.
