Details of Event
Falls in Mine (b) Falls of Roof – He was working at the face when a fall of roof occurred and killed him instantly. He had only started the previous day in the place, which had been standing for two weeks. The roof in the interval had broken off the face and weighed heavily on the supports. A slight crush movement probably caused collapse and at least four props were displaced.
