3940 An allegation that a landholder's employees used an air hose to blow asbestos dust in the direction of plaintiff while plaintiff was employed on the land by an independent contractor hired by the landholder is sufficient to raise issues of fact regarding whether the landholder's employees affirmatively contributed to plaintiff's asbestos-related disease, for which the landholder would be vicariously liable under respondeat superior.
