(225 ILCS 705/26.12) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 2612)
Sec. 26.12.
No accumulation of ice or obstructions of any kind shall be
permitted in any shaft in which men are hoisted or lowered; nor shall any
dangerous gases or steam be discharged into the shaft in such quantities or
at such times as to interfere with the safe passage of men. All surface or
other water which flows therein shall be conducted by rings or otherwise to
receptacles provided for the same in such manner as to prevent water from
falling upon men while passing into or out of the mine or while in the
discharge of their duties about the shaft bottom.
