| Description | |
|
|
No. 438 on the list occurred at Loftus Mines, belonging to Messrs. Pease and Partners, Limited, on September 22nd, causing the death of a bankhead foreman.
Two full tubs of a set had got off the way in a drift, and deceased went to assist to put them on again. When this was done he went to the empty set which was close to, and got between two of the tubs to ride out but fell off, and was crushed so severely that he died shortly afterwards.
He should have walked out of the drift and not attempted to ride on the set. My remarks on the fatal accident No. 349, which occurred at Silksworth Colliery, are quite as applicable to this case.
