Details of Event
He was attempting to tighten a bolt close to a revolving shaft, when a set screw, fastening a collar to the shaft, caught his sleeve. He was drawn round the shafting, and so severely injured that he died two days later. He should have stopped the machinery before attempting to work so close to it.
