| Description | |
|
|
No. 3 on the list occurred at Lingdale Mines, belonging to Messrs, Pease and Partners, Limited, on 13th January, about 2.20 p.m., causing the death of a youth named Albert Milner, a waggoner. He, along with three others, in coming out-bye from work, got on to a full set contrary to Special Rule 49, and in jumping off was caught by the tubs and so seriously injured that he died about three hours after the accident. There are printed notices placed both at the top and bottom of the engine plane prohibiting anyone, except the men whose work is thereon, travelling on it, and pointing out that they must both on going to and returning from work use a separate travelling road which is provided.
Notwithstanding, deceased and the other three boys wilfully disregarded both the Special Rules and printed notices, and this fatal accident was the result.
Too many accidents of this kind are continually occurring, but I hope this one will be a warning in future, and that there will be no further excuse for my having to call attention to the deliberate contravention of rules established for the protection of the lives of workmen and boys.
