Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(c)(1): The employer did not evaluate the workplace to determine if any spaces were permit-required confined spaces: (a) Clear Creek Skiing Corporation located at 3877 US 6, Georgetown, CO 80444: On and preceding December 28, 2017, the employer did not evaluate the workplace to determine if any spaces were permit-required confined spaces. Lift maintenance personnel entered the space adjacent to the Mini Carpet Lift to remove snow and ice and to inspect the rollers with the lift running. The space adjacent to the Mini Carpet Lift consisted of a tunnel approximately 75 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 3 feet high, with only one entrance/exit at the top of the tunnel. The Mini Carpet Lift included a moving conveyor belt and rollers operating through the length of the tunnel, and powered rollers and belt tensioners at one end of the tunnel. The employer did not evaluate this tunnel to determine if this work space included any recognized serious safety or health hazards that would classify the tunnel as a permit-required confined space. This condition exposed employees to the hazard of getting caught in the rollers and moving parts.
