29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(4): Ladders were used for purposes other than the purpose for which they were designed: (a)Midwest Excavating, LLC at 735 East El Dorado Court, Sioux Falls, SD 57108: On or about and at times prior to April 29, 2019, the employer did not ensure that the six-foot Louisville stepladder was being used in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.

This condition exposed employees to a fall hazard of approximately 7 feet and 6 inches within the excavation.
