Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 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. a) On or about December 2, 2022, the employer did not ensure that the side rails of a portable extension ladder, being utilized by employees re-roofing with a fall height of 12' to the ground, extended at least 3 feet above the upper landing.
