Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 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 August 7, 2017, during the construction of a waste water treatment plant located at 1206 Broad Street Extension, Conneaut, Ohio, the employer did not ensure a portable fiberglass stepladder used by employees to gain access to an upper landing surface (top of grit tank wall) extended at least 3 feet above the upper landing surface.
