Employees' Entrance

Workers ascended the 25’ iron ladder and enter beneath the pipe that extends through the 6’ door (sort of), and make their way down the dark and narrow rock passageway to the shaft. At times, the floor of the passage is wet and slippery, as would be the next ladder, descending into the deep shaft.

An MSHA nightmare!
