Details of Event
Deceased was standing on the plates at the top of a jig, holding a tape to measure off the distance for the next jig-chock, when a fall of roof occurred directly over the plates from between the four bars put up in rectangular form at the landing. The fall came from a slip and a break in the roof parallel to the face.
