| Description | |
|
|
No. 35. In this case locked lamps ought to have been introduced before the explosion as a preventative, as this mine is at all times dangerous, unless every precaution be taken. Although the deceased person was in charge of that part of the workings and was cautioned by the men under him he felt so confident the place was clear that he entered it with a naked light.
