Worker killed by hydraulic hose

A worker on a farm was killed when he was struck in the face by a hydraulic hose, an inquest has been told.

Robert Henderson, 49, of South Road, Beccles, Suffolk, was trying to transfer oxygen from one cylinder to another at a farm in Stockton, Norfolk.

The inquest at Norwich heard that Mr Henderson was using a mini-welding or cutting set and a joint separated under pressure and struck him in the face.

The inquest was adjourned to a future date to be fixed.

The case is being investigated by the Health and Safety Executive.
