29 CFR 1910.146(c)(2): The employer did not inform exposed employees, by posting danger signs or by any other equally effective means, of the existence and location of and the danger posed by the permit spaces: (a) Clear Creek Skiing Corporation located at 3877 US 6, Georgetown, CO 80444: On and preceding December 28, 2017, the employer did not inform exposed employees, by posting danger signs or by any other equally effective means, of the existence and location of and the danger posed by the permit 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 post danger signs at the entrance of the space, and the employer did not train personnel on the existence and dangers of this permit space. This condition exposed employees to the hazard of getting caught in the rollers and moving parts.
