Details of Event
He slipped on a wet plank placed at the foot of a 6 h.p. electrically-driven pump, and fell in such a way that his right arm-pit came into contact with unfenced spur gearing. He had been at work for 16 consecutive hours. His injuries were so severe that he died at 3.30 p.m. the same afternoon.
