JOHN W. PECK, Senior Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I concur on the ground that whether one chooses to call the deck on which the operator stood a “platform” or a “floor”, by no reasonable stretch of the imagination can it be called the “[fjloor of a workroom____” 29 CFR 1910.22(a)(2). (Emphasis added) It was, rather, a platform composed of heavy expanded metal and was a part of the machine itself. I would dispose of this case, which I agree has consumed far more than its fair share of attention, on that narrow ground.
