- Details of Event
- Fall of roof at the face of his working place in the Elled Seam. He and others were erecting a lag at the time but the fall would not have occurred had reasonably sufficient timber been properly set. The maximum distances for timber was axed under Special 2, at 12 feet each way which is not a reasonable distances in this part of the mine and tends to induce men to omit securing their places.
