The coroner's concerns
1. limited space near metal support legs
“A Witness at the Inquest expressed concern about the safety of operatives who have only a restricted space in which to work in the vicinity of metal support legs at the side of track 12 in the factory. As heavy railed machines with rotating industrial saws are operating in close proximity concerns were raised as to the risk of fatal injuries being sustained due to the limited space available”
2. machinery passing on adjacent tracks
“heavy industrial machines of the type involved in this fatality do still pass each other on tracks 11 and 12 despite criticisms voiced by an Expert Engineer in relation to the small gap between them coupled with the fact that some of the remedial safety measures advocated by the Expert Engineer have not been implemented”
