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: corner of Davis Ranch Parkway and Skanks Mill, San Antonio, TX, 78254: On or about September 13, 2023, and times prior thereto, employees were exposed to fall hazards while entering and exiting an excavation with a ladder not extended 3 feet above the landing surface.
