Details of Event
He was crushed between a full tub and a prop in a short tramming jig. There was no contravention of the Act, but the method adopted for the passing of the tubs was poor. The empty tub had to be detached from the rope and turned over, the full tub lowered a few yards, and then the empty turned back and re-attached to the rope.
