Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(1): When portable ladders are used for access to an upper landing surface, the ladder side rails shall extend at least 3 feet (.9 m) above the upper landing surface to which the ladder is used to gain access; or, when such an extension is not possible because of the ladder's length, then the ladder shall be secured at its top to a rigid support that will not deflect, and a grasping device, such as a grabrail, shall be provided to assist employees in mounting and dismounting the ladder. In no case shall the extension be such that ladder deflection under a load would, by itself, cause the ladder to slip off its support. a. On or about May 05, 2022, the employer failed to ensure that the ladder side rails extended at least three feet above the upper landing surface used to gain access to the second floor at the front window opening, two employees were therefore exposed to fall hazards as a result.
