An engineman was killed at Hazelrigg Colliery, Northumberland. He was found on the floor of a gangway in the screens, 5 ft. below a shafting revolving at 146 revs, per minute, with his skull and arm fractured, and both legs severed at the knees. All his clothing was coiled round the shafting and it is surmised that he was screwing the cup of a lubricator down on a pedestal when the sleeve of his overall caught in one of the studs of a collar on the shafting. The shafting was not fenced.
By your direction proceedings were instituted against the owners, agent and manager, alleging breaches of the Coal Mines Act. The owners were fined £5 and ordered to pay £5 5s. in costs, and the agent and manager were fined £5 and £2, respectively. For statistical purposes — the case having been heard during 1926 — details of the informations laid and of the verdict will be given in Section IV of my next report.
