Dear Mr. Hull:

This is in response to your September 18 letter requesting a letter of compliance from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for your ladder stand-off with handrails device (1926.1053(b)(1)).

As you may know, OSHA does not endorse products nor issue formal letters of approval for products or procedures. However, when provided with sufficient information, OSHA can offer an opinion as to whether or not they afford compliance with certain regulations. We have reviewed the Belle Ladder Stand-off product data enclosed in your letter and it appears that if your device is properly attached to the ladder and roof it would meet or exceed the requirements of 1926.1053(b)(1).

If we can be of further assistance, please contact me or Mr. Dale Cavanaugh of my staff at (202) 219-8136.

Sincerely,



Roy F. Gurnham, P.E., J.D.
Director
Office of Construction and Maritime
Compliance Assistance
