On or about October 1, 2019, the employer did not ensure that the portable Little Giant LT lightweight multi-use ladder system (Model: 22 LT; Part Number: 14322-01) was secured to prevent accidental displacement when used on a composite deck surface in the straight ladder mode/configuration, thus exposing an employee to a fall hazard.
