Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B 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. On or about September 18, 2019, employees utilized a portable aluminum ladder without extending it three feet above the upper landing surface in a trench located on the northeast corner of East Edgewood Dr. and Providence Ave Appleton, WI 54913. The trench was approximately 10 feet in depth and the top rung of the ladder was approximately level with the pavement.
