Paragraph 7

Where access to any part of a mine in which persons work can be obtained only by passing through one shaft or unwalkable outlet (other than one in the course of being sunk or driven) and winding or haulage apparatus is ordinarily used in that shaft or outlet, there shall be provided a compartment therein separated throughout by a substantial partition from the part in which that winding or haulage apparatus operates and there shall be provided in that compartment ladders or other safe and reasonably convenient means of egress independent of that winding or haulage apparatus.

Any ladder in a shaft or unwalkable outlet shall be securely fastened to the lining or sides thereof, and any platform therein forming part of a ladder-way shall be securely fenced.
