Details of Event
Fall of roof at the face. Apparently the fall occurred directly upon his returning to the place after having had his lunch. The roof is not good in this place and he was working on the face slip with the lower side leading. He worked on day wages for his brother. It is intended to experiment with some of these working places to see whether some safer method of working for this seam cannot be arrived at as several accidents have occurred under the present method.
