Details of Event
Deceased went inside the box of a dross elevator, to take out a part of a pulley, which had fallen inside, and while doing so, it is thought he put his foot on a bucket and the chain moved, and he was fatally crushed between the bucket and a cross beam. He was in charge of some alterations and before going inside he should have fixed the chain so that it could not move.
