(225 ILCS 705/5.10) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 510)
Sec. 5.10.
To have the underground working places in the mine examined for
hazards by competent personnel designated by the operator to do so, at
least once during each coal-producing shift, or oftener if necessary for
safety. Examinations shall include tests with a multi-gas detector
for methane and oxygen deficiency. In all
underground face workings where electrically driven
equipment is operated, examinations for methane shall be made with a multi-gas detector
by a person trained in the use of such multi-gas detector
before equipment is taken into or operated in face regions, and frequent
examinations for methane shall be made during such operations.
