Register of times of descent and ascent.

2.(1) The ... manager of every mine shall appoint one or more persons to
direct at the pit head the lowering and raising of men to and from the mine,
and shall cause a register to be kept in the form prescribed by the Secretary
of State, and containing the particulars prescribed by him with respect to the
times at which men are lowered into and raised from the mine, and the cases in
which any man is below ground for more than the time fixed by this Act, and

inspector.

(2) The [workers] in a mine may, at their own cost, appoint and station one or
more persons, whether holding the office of checkweigher or not, to be at the
pit head, at all times when [workers] are to be lowered or raised, for the
purpose of observing the times of lowering and raising, and the provisions of
the Coal Mines Regulation Acts, 1887 to 1905, relating to the checkweigher,
and to the relations between the ... manager of the mine and the checkweigher
shall, so far as applicable, apply to any person so appointed as they apply to
the checkweigher, with the substitution, as respects appointment, of the
[workers] in the mine for the persons who under those Acts are entitled to
appoint a checkweigher.

(3) If any person knowingly makes a false entry in the register which is to be
kept under this section, or knowingly causes or permits any such false entry
to be made, he shall be liable on summary conviction in respect of each
offence to a fine not exceeding five pounds. Provided that the total amount of
fines for offences under this section committed by any one person at any one
pit head in any one period of twenty-four hours shall not exceed twenty-five
