| Notes: | Deceased was assisting to erect a baulk parallel and close to a crossing baulk by the side of a pony haulage road. The erection of the new baulk disturbed the roof, a portion of which fell away and displaced the crossing baulk, causing a heavy fall of roof under which deceased was buried and killed. It is possible that the setting of temporary props under the crossing baulk would have prevented the accident |
