A BHP Billiton miner working at Perseverance mine at Leinster who became trapped more than one kilometer underground for 16 hours, is now safe and sound at home.
The 38-YEAR-OLD worker became trapped when an earth tremor made part of the mine's roof collapse.
The incident has prompted the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union to call for a Senate inquiry into safety at West Australian mines.
The Australian Manufacturing Workers Union claims mining companies are putting profits before safety.
