These spaces were approximately 3 feet high, 20 feet wide, 40 feet long, located between the work platform and the underside of the lift housings, and contained large fly-wheels and tensioning carriages. Danger signs or other equally effective means which communicated the existence and location of and the danger posed by the permit spaces were not posted.
