3-3.1 Hoistway Pit Entrapment Protection

Provide a minimum horizontal clearance of 20 inches (508 mm) between the side of the 
elevator platform/cab and any one wall of the elevator hoistway.  A horizontal clearance 
of 20 inches (508 mm) wide X 36 inches long (915 mm) must be maintained for the 
entire height of the hoistway.  Elevator and building components must not encroach on 
the minimum clearances or block personnel passage from the elevator pit to the \1\ pit 
entrapment area. 

This sentence needs to specify that this only applies to a single elevator and not a bank of elevators.
