Details of Event
Deceased was in front of a coal cutting machine and received a shock from the haulage rope pulling the machine as it cut along the face. Concentric cable with earthed outer was used and a defect was afterwards found at the gate-end box which had the effect of making the machine casing and haulage rope alive.
