Sec. 4. It shall be the duty of the owner, agent, or lessee of any
manufacturing establishment where there is any elevator, hoisting-shaft,
or well-hole, to cause the same to be properly and substantially

the Assistant Factory Inspector, or a Deputy Factory Inspector, unless

open and close by action of the elevator in its passage, either
ascending or descending, but the requirements of this section shall not

substantially covered with rubber, securely fastened thereon, for the
better safety of persons employed in said establishments. The stairs
shall be properly screened at the sides and bottom, and all doors
leading in or to such factory shall be so constructed as to open
outwardly where practicable, and shall be neither locked, bolted, nor
fastened during working-hours.
