Details of Event
When preparing the place for a post which the examiner had ordered him to set the stone fell on him. Had set this before on his own initiative the accident would probably not have occurred. It is one of those cases which laxity in dealing with t securing of roofs brings about its own punishment. Had deceased known that if he had not got a prop set when it was required when the examiner overman came to the place he would be reported to the manager he would not have waited to set one until the examiner came and told him to do it.
