(225 ILCS 705/26.09) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 2609)
Sec. 26.09.
The upper and lower landing at the top of each shaft, and the
opening of each intermediate seam from or to the shaft, shall be kept clear
and free from loose materials, and shall be protected with automatic or
other gates, such gates to be of good, serviceable construction for the
purpose for which they are designed, namely, to prevent either men, or
materials from falling into the shaft. At the top, landing cage supports,
where necessary, must be carefully set and adjusted so as to securely hold
the cage when at rest.
