OPALA, Vice Chief Justice.

The sole issue presented by this appeal is whether the immunity afforded an employer by the terms of 85 O.S.Supp. 1984 § 121 shields it from liability to a power company for a loss paid by the latter because of a violation of the "six-foot law." We answer this question in the negative.
