Sec. 1.
Every owner or operator of a coal mine, steel mill, foundry,
machine shop, railroad, or other like business in which employees become
covered with grease, smoke, dust, grime and perspiration to such extent
that to remain in such condition after leaving their work without washing
and cleansing their bodies and changing their clothing, will endanger their
health or make their condition offensive to the public, shall provide and
maintain a suitable and sanitary washroom, with an adequate quantity of
soap containing bland non-irritating detergents which effectively cleanse
the skin, at a convenient place where employees are required to report for
duty or are relieved from duty, in or adjacent to such mine, mill, foundry,
