It shall be the duty of every operator of said mines in this state, employing ten or more men, to provide dry closets or toilets on all mine working levels for the use of all men employed in the mine. At least one such closet or toilet shall be provided for every twenty-five (25) men so employed. Ready means of access to each such toilet shall be provided. No such closets or toilets shall be constructed without adequate provisions for effectual cleansing of the contents thereof; and they shall be kept in a sanitary condition and the contents shall be removed, to the surface, and disposed of at least once each week. The mine foreman shall cause each of such closets or toilets to be supplied with some disinfectant or deodorizer to be sprinkled on the contents. It shall be the duty of all men employed within any mine where such closets are provided to use them exclusively when in the mine; provided, however, that this section shall not apply to any mine where the operator requires or permits men to go to the surface for such purpose.
