|
A screener was killed at Adventure Colliery, Durham. Deceased wished to go from one side of a Marcus Screen to the other, and disobeying instructions, proceeded by way of the driving end of the screen. When passing the crank shaft he slipped and fell on the machinery. He died from shock four hours later. He passed under a bar fence fixed 2 feet 10 inches from the floor. A close fence should have been provided and would probably have prevented the accident.
