Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A 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. Located at 7036 Cannon Drive, Canal Winchester, Ohio: On or about December 4, 2018, employees were exposed to a fall hazard while climbing from the top of an eight foot Werner step ladder to access the second floor of the house. The working height of the ladder did not extend at least three foot above the upper landing.
