Narrative

Two shaft repairmen had finished pulling lacing from the pipe compartment, the all clear/tucked in verbal command was given twice with response. The bell signal was transmitted to raise the skip. One miner's fall protection lanyard was accidentally left connected to a shaft anchor. As the skip raised the lanyard remained secured pulling the miner between the skip and shaft timber.
