Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.23(d)(2): The employer did not install fixed ladders with a minimum perpendicular distance of 7 inches, from the centerline of the steps or rungs, or grab bars, or both, to the nearest permanent object in back of the ladder: (a) CHS M & M COOP located at 102 S. Detroit Street, Yuma, CO 80759: On and before December 26, 2017, the employer did not ensure that ladder rungs on the fixed ladder leading to the boot pit had a minimum perpendicular distance of 7" from the nearest permanent object in the back of the ladder. The fixed ladder leading to the boot pit was 5.5" from the outside of a grain bin for the entire section of ladder leading down to the boot pit. This ladder was the primary means of entry and exit into the grain elevator boot pit, and employees used this ladder to enter and exit the boot pit. This condition exposed employees to fall and fire hazards.
