| | | | | | | Badmington, Edward Lawrence, 12 Jan 1915, aged 40, Fall of roof [More information ...] | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | Baylis, George, 08 Nov 1897, aged 28, Collier, Crushed by a fall of side in a road which he was driving for ventilation | | | | | | | | Beavan, James, 08 Nov 1884, aged 39, Labourer, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Bevan, David, 13 May 1905, aged 34, Collier, David Bevan, 34, collier, died suddenly on the 13th May from heart failure in the colliers' train when on his way home from work at Pochin Colliery [fatality reported during the year but not classified as a reportable accident] | | | | | | | | Bevan, John, 25 Nov 1887, aged 20, Collier, Fall of roof in his working place in consequence of neglecting to prop | | | | | | | | Bright, John, 24 Mar 1904, aged 55, Assistant Timberman, Fall of roof. Silcox and deceased, after having taken out a pair of timbers and relagged the place, were going for a tram, when another collar suddenly snapped and released a quantity of loose ground, which buried them. Changing the timbers had evidently disturbed the roof | | | | | | | | Colwell, James, 31 Dec 1903, aged 27, Collier, He worked too much coal from under a bad stone before setting a post. This stone had been pulled down for about ten yards, and because special care was required deceased attention had been drawn to it | | | | | | | | Costin, Frederick, 10 Nov 1909, (accident: 10 Nov 1908), aged 43, Repairer, Died from Diabetic Coma. He injured his hand slightly about two and a-half months previously, and owing to inattention it became poisoned, but healed in about six weeks, when he resumed work for a few days, but again became ill and was found to be suffering from acute diabetes. The doctor who made the post mortem and who attended deceased up to the time of his death could not say whether he had diabetes when the accident occurred or not ; if he had he considered that the accident to the hand would intensify the effects and accelerate death. How far this should be considered a mining accident seems very doubtful | | | | | | | | Curtin, Cornelius, 26 Jun 1911, aged 47, Timberman, Fall of side on road while retimbering it | | | | | | | | Davies, John, 08 Nov 1884, aged 46, Roadman, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Davies, William, 09 May 1899, aged 38, Collier, Fall of overhanging clod in his stall road, which he should either have spragged or have taken down | | | | | | | | Edwards, Godfrey D., 12 Jan 1915, aged 15, Collier Boy, Fall of roof [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Evans, James, 08 Oct 1898, aged 41, Hitcher, Killed instantly by a piece of coal falling down the shaft from the tram which was being banked at the surface | | | | | | | | Evans, William, 08 Nov 1884, aged 30, Collier, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Griffiths, Evan, 08 Nov 1884, aged 20, Collier, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Griffiths, James, Aug 1930, aged 36 [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Griffiths, John, 21 Dec 1897, (accident: 06 Dec 1897), aged 58, Night examiner, While making his second inspection in one of the main headings, a fall of side took place and fractured his thigh. He died on the 21st December from the injuries. There have been several accidents in the roadways, which should not be the case | | | | | | | | Hamer, John, 08 Nov 1884, aged 35, Collier, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Havard, William, 08 Nov 1884, aged 25, Haulier, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Hodge, James, 23 Jul 1901, aged 49, Pitman, While engaged on a platform making "Hyatt" holes in the No. 2 shaft, he fell away, and was picked up 300 yards below. One of the scaffolding boards 1 in. by 9 in. fell with him, but whether it broke, or what caused the accident is unknown. His son was working with him at the time | | | | | | | | Hood, George, 17 Aug 1887, aged 14, Collier's boy, Fall of coal and clod while filling coal near the face of the working place, where he was engaged with his brother | | | | | | | | Hughes, E. H., 14 Aug 1936, Shale Tipper, run over by tram | | | | | | | | Hughes, John, 04 Apr 1885, aged 22, Collier, Fall of coal. The top coal was standing supported by timber he knocked the timber out just before leaving expecting the coal to fall by the morning, but afterwards he went back and began to work some more underneath when it fell | | | | | | | | Hughes, Noah, 02 Sep 1886, aged 37, Collier, Fall of stone. While holing in the big vein the top fell on him | | | | | | | | Hughes, Thomas, 07 Sep 1887, aged 20, Collier, Fall of roof at the face of his working place in consequence of slips and not having sufficient timbers set | | | | | | | | Hughes, William L., 28 Feb 1906, aged 23, Collier, Crushed by trams on the endless rope haulage road about 250 yards from No. 2 pit bottom in the "yard" seam, where he, a collier, was engaged for the day as clipper in the absence of another man. Some confusion occurred with the signals, which apparently brought about the accident, but the responsibility could not be brought home to any individual | | | | | | | | Hunt, William, 12 Apr 1907, 12.30 p.m., 6th hour of shift, aged 40, Collier, Fall of roof, when working at the face of the rippings in his working place, about 6 yards back from the face of the Yard Coal, in the West District. The getting down of the 18 inches of stone or clod between the Yard Coal and Big Vein not providing sufficient height on the roads, the bottom coal of the Big Vein is ripped for the purpose. Having cut this coal on one side and failed to get it down by wedging, he put a prop under it to allow of the haulier taking out a full tram from the face, and afterwards, when he was returning under it to resume work, the clod fell and killed him. Undoubtedly the wedging had loosened it | | | | | | | | James, James M., 27 Apr 1906, aged 26, Haulier, He was acting as haulier as well as clipping trams on a secondary rope which worked down the "Polka" drift from the "yard" coal double parting. He was riding in the front, possibly standing on the rope, when, owing to the tram getting off the rails, he fell off and was run over | | | | | | | | James, Stephen, 08 Jun 1912, aged 20, Collier's Butty, Fall of side at working face. When holing in the bottom coal a piece of top coal discharged a post and fell upon him. After the fall a "grime" was visible at the back of the fallen coal | | | | | | | | Jenkins, Isaac, 20 Aug 1888, aged 19, Collier, Fall of roof from slips. The place was not well propped considering the nature of the roof there [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Jenkins, Ivor, 08 Oct 1910, (accident: 06 Oct 1910), aged 23, Collier, Fall of roof at working face from two converging slips. Died 8th October, 1910 | | | | | | | | Jones, David, 03 Apr 1888, aged 41, Collier, Fall of roof from slips at the face of his stall | | | | | | | | Jones, Enoch, 22 Sep 1900, aged 25, Collier, Fall of roof, from two slips, in a heading where he was gobbing stone got down by a shot in the ripping. He apparently removed two props from under the stone as a matter of convenience, and continued working under it recklessly, or did not carefully examine, the place. He worked alone in the stall, and was found under the stone by the examiner, when on his rounds an hour or two later | | | | | | | | Jones, George, 20 Dec 1900, aged 17, Colliers butty, Fall of roof in his working place, from two slips or "grimes," while engaged ripping it with "plug and feather" | | | | | | | | Jones, John, 08 Nov 1884, aged 25, Haulier, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Jones, Morgan, 11 May 1904, aged 25, Collier, Fall of roof. Deceased was found dead in his working place by the night examiner, buried under a fall of roof coal, at 3.30 a.m. when going his rounds examining. The coal fell from three slips. This is another instance of the present system of timbering proving insufficient to meet the conditions. The accident evidently happened about 5 p.m., which shows how desirable it is that there should be an efficient system of checking men leaving work. It is carried out at the mines on the Continent, and is consequently quite practicable if the management in this country would only introduce it in a systematic manner | | | | | | | | Jones, Thomas, 21 Nov 1924, 1.55 p.m., 7th hour of shift, aged 30, Collier, Having bored a hole in a bed of rippings, he attempted to knock out a post, set under the rippings, at the end of the shift. After striking one blow, a stone, 5 ft. by 4 ft. by 5 ft., which the post was evidently supporting, fell and killed him outright. The prop should have been withdrawn by means of a safety contrivance. Electric safety lamp used | | | | | | | | Jones, William John, Aug 1930, aged 16 [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Kimber, John Mark, 04 Apr 1930, killed by a fall [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Knight, Benjamin, 06 Nov 1884, aged 59, Collier, On November 6th Benjamin Knight, 59, collier, fell down the upcast shaft at the Pochin Pit, Tredegar, which had been wrecked by the explosion, when in a state of intoxication. He had been wishing to go down the pit, and had been placed in safety about half an hour before, but got out and returned to the pit bank with the result named [fatality reported during the year but not classified as a reportable accident] | | | | | | | | Laurence, Thomas, 29 Dec 1904, aged 45, Collier, Fall of roof. When wedging down coal the vibration caused a large piece of roof to fall from two slants and a break, which he had previously exposed by removing the clod. Here again the roof was secured in the place in the usual manner, but which is seen to require improvement in some form or other to meet the local conditions | | | | | | | | Lee, John, 26 Oct 1924, (accident: 25 Oct 1924, 11.0 a.m., 4th hour of shift), aged 28, Collier, He was pulling down some coal in the rib, when a fall of coal and rashings occurred at his back from the straight face and discharged a sprag. He was caught by the fall and died from his injuries on the following day. Electric safety lamp used | | | | | | | | Leigh, Edward, 05 Apr 1910, aged 35, Shackler, He stumbled in front of a full tram which he and another man were bringing forward to the shaft to hitch on the cage and was fatally injured | | | | | | | | Lewis, Thomas, 08 Nov 1884, aged 35, Labourer, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Lloyd, Aaron, 27 Jul 1892, aged 23, Haulier, Fall of roof rubbish over timbers in a stall road. The horse may have interfered with some of the props as the tram from its position evidently was not the cause | | | | | | | | Lloyd, Thomas, 06 Oct 1894, (accident: 04 Oct 1894), aged 50, Airwayman, Engaged with another man in an air road he considered a piece of roof unsafe and commenced to pull it down. The stone ripped further back than he expected and part of it fell upon him causing injuries from which he died 6th. He had worked many years in collieries and for upwards of four in this pit. A pure error of judgement | | | | | | | | Lloyd, William, 25 Jan 1896, aged 24, Collier, Fall of coal from the face in consequence of sprags not being properly let into the floor | | | | | | | | Matthews, Evan, 18 Jan 1904, aged 23, Collier, Fall of roof. A large stone fell from three slants in the roof ; the roof was very strong, and the stone being thick misled deceased who had set props according to the custom of the colliery | | | | | | | | Matthews, Matthew, 21 Aug 1896, aged 42, Collier, Fall of overhanging clod | | | | | | | | McGraith, Thomas Barnard, 25 Aug 1892, aged 20, Repairer, One of two trams which the haulier was taking up a rise heading became uncoupled and running back met him while walking up and caused his death | | | | | | | | Meal, Josiah, 04 Jul 1906, (accident: 16 Jun 1906), aged 39, Haulier, After he had taken a journey of empties up the heading a double timber had become partly discharged, so that when returning with his full load and riding on the "gun," he was crushed against the timber, which resulted in his death on the 4th July | | | | | | | | Moon, Alfred, 10 Jan 1894, aged 46, Repairer, Fall from the side of a rubbish stall where he was unloading a tram. The stone appears to have rolled down more or less and to have squeezed him against the side of the tram over which he was leaning at the time. He does not seem to have thought much about it at the time and did not report it before leaving the colliery but on arrival home complained of pain in the bowels which continued till his death the following evening | | | | | | | | Morgan, Thomas, 08 Nov 1884, aged 34, Collier, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Morgan, Thomas, 28 Dec 1900, (accident: 15 Dec 1900), aged 19, Colliers butty, When passing a pony, it kicked out and struck his head. The injury did not show signs of being serious for 10 days. He died on the 28th December | | | | | | | | Morris, Isiah, 08 Nov 1884, aged 28, Roadman, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Morris, Thomas, 03 Jan 1903, aged 35, Timberman, Fall of roof. When ripping top a piece of stone, "which he was testing," fell on him | | | | | | | | Owen, Gwilliam, 08 Nov 1884, aged 34, Collier, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Powell, James, 11 Sep 1909, (accident: 09 Sep 1909), aged 38, Collier, Fall of roof in his stall road 15 yards back from the face. He and his comrade were taking out a broken prop when the stone, which this prop had been supporting, fell and injured Powell so severely that he died on the 11th September. They were not using a "ringer" and "chain" as they should have been | | | | | | | | Powell, Thomas, 11 Jul 1902, aged 38, Collier, He was killed by a fall of roof when pulling top coal. It was closely timbered all round and fell from two slants. Apparently a pure accident | | | | | | | | Powles, Joseph, 20 Aug 1888, aged 12, Collier's boy, Fall of roof from slips. The place was not well propped considering the nature of the roof there [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Pratten, Thomas, 07 Aug 1888, aged 48, Collier, Fall of roof on the side of his stall road when knocking out props from under it. He seems to have stood in the wrong place to knock them out | | | | | | | | Preece, James, 08 Nov 1884, aged 34, Labourer, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Price, J., 14 Jun 1881, aged 34, Sinker, Fell out of bowk when about 40 yards from the bottom. He was alone in the bowk, and there was nothing to show what caused him to fall out | | | | | | | | Prosser, Thomas, 27 Sep 1898, aged 37, Haulier, Crushed when bringing a full tram along a stall road he appears to have fallen in front of it. When found he was dead and lying across the road in front of the tram to which the horse was attached and standing quite still. When last seen he was walking in front of the horse | | | | | | | | Pugh, -, 08 Nov 1884, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust, fell down the pit after the explosion [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Richards, Arthur Edward, 15 Jun 1914, aged 39, Repairer, When travelling up a haulage plane for the purpose of loading timber, accompanied by others, six trams broke away from a journey approaching him. He failed to get into a refuge hole and was killed by the trams | | | | | | | | Samuel, D. J., 19 Dec 1910, aged 29, Collier, Fall of roof at working face | | | | | | | | Sanders, Edward, 07 Feb 1896, aged 30, Collier, While removing loose stone after a shot a large stone from the roof which had probably been loosened by the shot fell on him. A prop with a good lid which was under it was discharged | | | | | | | | Scott, William, 08 Nov 1884, aged 48, Labourer, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Stevens, John, 06 Aug 1887, aged 21, Haulier, A piece of coal falling from the surface rebounded from the shaft side and struck him near the pit eye, at the bottom | | | | | | | | Stokes, John, 27 Oct 1902, aged 31, Collier, A fall of top coal in his working place. There appears to have been timber set under it in the ordinary course, but it proved insufficient under the existing conditions which should have been anticipated [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Taylor, George, 15 Apr 1890, aged 19, Collier, A piece of overhanging clod and coal fell over the sprags which were set and rolled against him as he was on the floor pushing a large stone which they wanted into the waste. It came from a face slip | | | | | | | | Taylor, George, 03 May 1890, aged 19, Collier, As shotfiring is only done when the persons ordinarily employed are out of the mine at night or between shifts this man and his comrade had prepared a shot in the roof where ripping was required and having gone distance on their way out Taylor turned back to fetch a shovel and passing under the stone which they intended blasting it fell upon him and killed him | | | | | | | | Thomas, Thomas R., 14 Jun 1899, aged 26, Labourer, Died returning from work at Pochin Colliery on the 14th June, had travelled three miles on the L. & N. W. Railway to tredegar, and in trying to get on a train while in motion at the iron works, fell, and was run over, both legs being ampuated. He died within two hours from shock [fatality reported during the year but not classified as a reportable accident] | | | | | | | | Vaughan, Charles, 26 Aug 1904, aged 35, Rider, While walking down the engine plane he was run over by the journey of empty trams which ran wild, in consequence of the chain at the end of the rope breaking | | | | | | | | Watkins, Albert, 14 Oct 1925, (accident: 29 Sep 1925), aged 34, Collier, Fall of roof. Died 14th Oct | | | | | | | | Wilding, Joseph, 26 Aug 1903, aged 27, Collier, Fall of side. Fall of coal from the face in consequence of insufficient spragging. Another case of neglect showing necessity for the supervision being closer and more stringent | | | | | | | | William, John, 08 Nov 1884, aged 20, Collier, Explosion, firedamp propagated by coal dust [More information ...] | | | | | | | | Williams, Abe, 17 Mar 1903, aged 28, Hitcher, The banksman, who seems to have been a little deaf, thought he had received a signal from the bottom to "go on," and signalled accordingly to the engineman, who drew up the cage, with the result that deceased was crushed and killed at the bottom of the shaft while pushing trams through the cage | | | | | | | | Williams, Benjamin, 10 Feb 1899, aged 19, Collier, Was killed on the 10th of February on his way from work at Pochin Colliery, by getting out of a train on the L. & N. W. Railway while it was in motion [fatality reported during the year but not classified as a reportable accident] | | | | | | | | Williams, David, 12 May 1908, (accident: 18 Oct 1907), aged 56, Repairer, On the 17th or 18th of October, 1907, when assisting eight or nine men to lift a heavy collar upon a pair of arms, where repairs were being carried out in the East District, he apparently strained himself, and complained at the time. To all appearances he seems to have been a robust man up to that. He continued his work, more or less regularly, for a month, when he failed, and gradually sank until his death on the 12th of May, 1908. The strain evidently acted upon some latent trouble (stone or otherwise) which, according to the medical evidence, brought about death | | | | | | | | Williams, Edwin, 19 Sep 1882, (accident: 28 Aug 1882), aged 36, Collier, Injured by a fall of stone, and died on September 19th | | | | | | | | Williams, James, 16 Jan 1900, aged 26, Washery engineman, Was standing on the engine bed plate, about 8 or 9 inches above the level of the floor of the engine house, when he slipped and fell, injuring this back of his head, resulting in his death in a few hours from concussion of the brain | | | | | | | | Williams, John Rees, 18 Feb 1909, (accident: 05 Nov 1908), aged 19, Collier's Butty, Fall of coal, which he was wedging down from the face, fractured his thigh, as he was about to remove his shovel from where he had it standing up. He was discharged from the Cottage Hospital, Tredegar, on the 29th of January, 1909, but as the bones had not united an operation was advised, and he was readmitted to the Hospital on the 18th February. The operation took about two hours, and at the finish it was noticed that he was in a state of collapse ; he died the following day from shock following the operation | | | | | | | | Williams, Thomas, 25 Mar 1897, aged 41, Collier, Crushed through an error of judgement by a fall of roof from slips at his working place. The roof in this part of the workings abounds in these slips and is very treacherous. It is to be hoped that it will soon alter meanwhile great care is needed | | | | | | | | Williams, William, 03 May 1894, aged 27, Collier, He was an experienced haulier it seems and stated as such when required. He forgot that at a certain point on the road there were some low timbers and when riding out on the horse chain his head was crushed between the loaded tram and these timbers. These injuries resulted in his death | | | | | | | | Worley, Ronald Leslie, 24 Nov 1928, (accident: 23 Nov 1928), aged 16, Colliers helper, Fall of roof. Died 24th Nov | | | | | | | | Yates, Thomas, 25 Oct 1886, aged 13, Collier, Fall of stone.
