Our Supreme Court frequently has turned to the Restatement (Second) of Torts when describing exceptions to the general rule of employer nonliability. See, e.g., Pelletier v. Sordoni/Skanska Construction Co., 286 Conn. 563, 597-98, 945 A.2d 388 (2008). Sections 410 to 429 of the Restatement (Second) of Torts describe these various exceptions. In particular, § 410 pertains to situations in which an employer exercises control over the work of the independent contractor. Section *746410 provides: “The employer of an independent contractor is subject to the same liability for physical harm caused by an act or omission committed by the contractor pursuant to orders or directions negligently given by the employer, as though the act or omission were that of the employer himself.” 2 Restatement (Second), Torts § 410 (1965).
