Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(4): Ladder(s) were used for purposes other than the purpose for which they were designed: a. Site- An employee working from an aluminum extension ladder is exposed to a fall hazard where the employee is only using the fly section of the extension ladder which is not intended to be supported from the ground. The employer routinely fails to assure effective protection against falls as required by the standard, as demonstrated on July 7, 2016, when employees were working from an aluminum extension ladder where the employee was only using the fly section of the extension ladder which is not intended to be supported from the ground at 38 Longfellow Drive, Bethlehem, NH 03574.
