Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement metod to correct this hazard includes ensuring that manufacturer's warning labels are readable, ensuring that employees use a ladder of sufficient height which does not require an employee to step or stand higher than the step or rung indicated on the manufacturer's label marking the highest standing level of the ladder, and follow the guidance specified in American National Standard for Ladders Portable Reinforced Plastic Safety Requirements (ANSI A14.5-2000) Section 9.3.2 Climbing and Working Locations.
