Supervision of mines
Sec. 14. Each commercial mine shall be supervised by one (1) or
more certified mine foremen who shall see that the provisions of the
coal mining laws of Indiana that pertain to their duties and to the
health and safety of the employees are complied with. When the
mine workings are so extensive that the mine foremen are unable
personally to carry out the duties required of them by law, the
operator shall employ a sufficient number of properly certified
assistants who shall act under the direction of the mine foremen. The
mine foremen or their assistants shall not permit any person to work
in an unsafe place except for the purpose of making it safe, and such
work shall be under the direction and instruction of a certified
official. The mine foremen shall provide such data and information
regarding the operation of the mine as may be required by the
director on blanks which shall be furnished by the director.
