You can look on the Black Sheep Index. That has a list of people in accidents on both the railway and in mines.

Just Google for the address.

I believe industrial accident records are at Kew - have a look on the National Archives site.

Oh and have a google for info - try using the date of the accident etc and area and names - it could turn up in a local paper archives - talking of which, the local records office may well have info on industrial accidents in their area.
