The company was ordered to add those barriers and was cited for contravening a safety regulation.
Presiding coroner Chilco Newell is tasked with hearing evidence from witnesses to determine the facts surrounding Haslam’s death.
A jury will make recommendations aimed at preventing similar deaths in the future.
Haslam had only been working at the plant for two months and was on the graveyard shift when the accident happened.
