Details of Event
He was trapped by a picking belt when working alone during the 15th hour of work. He was found crushed between the picking belt and a shoot. There was no evidence to show what he was doing at the time, but he was probably climbing over the belt to a platform a few feet above. A proper ladder way was provided to give access to this platform.
