Mining Laws of Ohio, 1921 by Anonymous
page 55 of 157 (35%)
jurisdiction over such mine when the shaft or slope reaches a depth
of twenty-five feet, and such person, firm or corporation shall
comply with any order issued by either or both of them with respect
to the safety of persons employed. Other than the provisions herein,
the provisions of this act shall not apply to the opening of a mine
until such opening reaches the seam, and the entry or landing be
extended beyond a breakthrough, or other place driven at right
angles thereto. (Penalty, Sec. 976.)


Sec. 950. [=Additional openings; when and how provided for.=] When
in the opinion of the district inspector of mines together with the
chief inspector of mines, the ways and means of egress in any mine
under their jurisdiction, from the interior working places to the
surface, as provided for in this act, are inadequate as a safe and
ready means of escape in case of probable emergency, and there are
extra hazards of a permanent nature that cannot be removed either
from long distance from the interior working places to the exterior
openings for egress, from danger of fire at any point, or any other
cause that probably will result in the entombment of persons working
therein, they shall jointly give notice in writing to the owner,
lessee or agent of such mine, and require an additional opening by
shaft, slope or drift, from the surface; the location of the
interior end of such shaft, slope, or drift, to be sufficiently near
the interior working places in that part of the mine where such
persons are endangered, to afford such persons safe and ready means
of escape, free from such hazards. (Sec. 932; Penalty Sec. 976.)
