(225 ILCS 705/7.03) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 703)
Sec. 7.03.
It shall be unlawful for the operator of any mine to permit any
person who does not hold a certificate of competency as hoisting engineer
issued by the Mining Board to hoist or lower men, or to have charge of the
hoisting engine when men are underground. No certified engineer shall be
required for automatically operated cages or platforms. Provided, at any
slope mine where the angle of the slope is not more than twenty degrees and
men are not lowered into and/or hoisted out of the mine by hoisting
equipment, and there is ample room in the slope and it would be practicable
in the event of an accident to remove an injured person from the mine, no
hoisting engineer holding a certificate of competency issued by the Mining
Board shall be required.
