Details of Event
Deceased was oiling the machinery of a steam haulage engine; either he or his neighbour who had just finished his shift forgot to put on the drum brake and just then a rake of tubs was pushed over the steep of a dook which caused the drum to revolve and he was fatally crushed between the drum and wall.
